5 Marlboro-Colts Neck Nonprofits To Support This Holiday Season

MARLBORO-COLTS NECK, NJ — If you’re like many of your Marlboro or Colts Neck 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 Marlboro-Colts Neck area.

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

1. Arms Wide Open Childhood Cancer Foundation: Aims to fund less toxic therapies for children with cancer so they can have a better quality of life as they battle the disease.
2. Bluemont Equine Rescue & Sanctuary: Rescues equines, minis and donkeys. Works to rehabilitate animals and provides foster services for other local rescue organizations who are short on space or resources.
3. Someone Special Needs You: Provides a social, recreational and creative outlet where individuals with special needs can express themselves. The organization aims to serve as a support system for families with special needs children.
4. Marlboro Educational Foundation: Private nonprofit organization of Marlboro residents and business people dedicated to raising funds for programs not covered in the general school budget.
5. Colts Neck First Aid Squad: Nonprofit organization that provides 24/7 emergency medical services to Colts Neck residents.
