5 Trumbull Nonprofits To Support This Holiday Season

TRUMBULL, CT — If you're like many of your Trumbull 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 Trumbull area.

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

• Hands Offering Hope believes in the potential of young people and exists to help them thrive.
• BaseBalls 4 a Better Community supplies baseballs to children who cannot afford them, enabling them to play America's national pastime.
• Make-A-Wish Connecticut grants life-changing wishes for children going through so much.
• Lakewood-Trumbull YMCA is a community-focused nonprofit with recreational programs and services for all ages.
• IMPACTrumbull engages families to actively support our Fairfield County community, one need at a time.
• My Friend Abby Inc. works to empower youth and young adults to actively create peer to peer connections through grants that improve mental and emotional health.
