5 North Haven Nonprofits To Support This Holiday Season

NORTH HAVEN, CT — If you’re like many of your North Haven neighbors, you may spend a good part of the holiday season with your credit card in hand buying gifts for family and friends. Coming up soon is a chance to give back to the local community.

Giving Tuesday, which in 2024 falls on Dec. 3, is a day dedicated to supporting nonprofit and community groups. Since 2012, nonprofits worldwide have used the Tuesday after Thanksgiving to galvanize fundraising, rally volunteers and add momentum to their causes.

Maintaining funding is a constant challenge for many nonprofits that fill gaps and meet other needs in the North Haven area.

Here are five local nonprofits to consider getting behind on Giving Tuesday:

1. Animal Haven, Inc.: A no-kill animal shelter providing care and adoption services for abandoned pets.
2. North Haven Food Pantry: Provides food assistance to individuals and families facing hunger.
3. Friends of the North Haven Library: Supports and enhances library resources and programs.
4. North Haven Trail Association: Advocates for the development and maintenance of local trails for recreation and environmental preservation.
5. Rotary Club of North Haven: A community service organization that supports local and global charitable projects.
