Slo Giving List

I like to find ways to give throughout the year, but the holidays are an especially nice time to be thankful and give back. Toy and food drives are usually my go-to, but this year I have some warm clothing to donate. I started researching options in our community and figured it might be nice to publish a "Giving List" in case anyone else is looking for ways to donate locally. 

These are just a few of my favorites - if you have a suggestion please feel free to add in the comments!

To keep it super simple you can also just check out your local grocery store. Most have collection bins out so you can just pick up a couple extra items and donate as you check out.

Happy Thanksgiving all!
