Even though the calendar says spring, the chilly weather might have some of us feeling a little down. There’s nothing like good weather to improve our moods. However, another way to feel good is by helping someone else. So today, we give you five things you can do to help out in Jefferson:
- You Can Donate to the Jefferson Food Pantry: Everyone thinks about food drives around the holidays, but those who have trouble paying for groceries need help all year long. The next time you’re in the grocery store, you can pick up some extra non-perishables and get them to the pantry. Find out how here.
- You Can Volunteer at the Jefferson Pound: The animals need to be walked and fed, cages need to be cleaned and the dogs and cats need some love. If you’re a pet lover, you can give some time and get some happiness in return. Here's how.
