10 Norristown Area Nonprofits To Support This Holiday Season

NORRISTOWN, PA — If you’re like many of your Norristown area 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 local area.

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

• Laurel House, a domestic violence shelter which offers numerous related services
• ACLAMO, offers educational and health and wellness programs to Latinos and other community members
• Keep Norristown Beautiful, works on cleanups and initiatives to empower the community
• Big Brothers, Big Sisters of Montgomery County, partners youth with adult mentors
• Elmwood Park Zoo
• Valley Forge Convention and Visitors Bureau
• Greater Norristown Art League
• Hedwig House, Inc., a clubhouse for people with mental illness
• Historical Society of Montgomery County
