5 Secaucus Nonprofits To Support This Holiday Season

SECAUCUS, NJ — If you’re like many of your Secaucus 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 Secaucus area.

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

1. Secaucus Animal Shelter: Their mission is to rescue abandoned, abused and injured animals; rehabilitate them, have them vaccinated, spayed or neutered; and find them loving adoptive homes. They always need blankets, pet food donations, cash donations and volunteers to help walk dogs. Learn more: https://sasnj.org/index.php/vo...

2. Secaucus Emergency Fund: Created by Secaucus resident Lisa Snedeker to help residents in town who need immediate help. Very local, helps Secaucus residents only.
