5 Marlborough Nonprofits To Support This Holiday Season

MARLBOROUGH, MA — If you’re like many of your Marlborough 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 Marlborough area.

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

• Welcome NST enables everyday Americans to offer refuge to refugee families from Ukraine, Guatemala, Venezuela, Haiti, Syria, and around the world.
• Thrive Support & Advocacy empowers youth and adults with developmental disabilities, and their families, to lead rich, active and self-directed lives.
• Boys & Girls Clubs of MetroWest provides social, educational, physical and cultural programming for boys and girls in the MetroWest area.
• Marlborough Public Library Foundation was established in 2002 to support library services and programs, and to raise funds for capital improvements to the Marlborough Public Library.
• Marlborough Community Cupboard provides groceries and produce to Marlborough residents each month.
