6 Plymouth-Whitemarsh Area Nonprofits To Support This Holiday Season

PLYMOUTH MEETING, PA — If you’re like many of your Plymouth and Whitemarsh 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 six local nonprofits to consider getting behind on Giving Tuesday:

• For Pete's Sake Cancer Respite Foundation
• Kencrest Centers
• Laurel House, a domestic violence shelter which offers numerous related services
• Big Brothers, Big Sisters of Montgomery County, partners youth with adult mentors
• Elmwood Park Zoo
• Valley Forge Convention and Visitors Bureau
