In addition, below are SOME of the local charities which we know of because they have been nominated in past, presented to us at a meeting and/or been awarded the Charity of Choice* (those in bold font). We encourage everyone to learn more about these wonderful services in our community.
Members are invited to identify a charity which speaks to them and to nominate it to present at a meeting where we vote for one Charity of Choice. If you know of an agency not listed which we should be aware of, please reach out by emailing our volunteer leadership team.
*Charities of Choice are the agencies chosen by vote to receive all donations from that meeting and may be nominated after a 3-year period.
