ChristmasKringle.com, and Santa himself, asks:

 

Please donīt forget to give something back. During the course of the Holiday time of year, there are needy people who arenīt as fortunate as some of us are. Some folks are poor. some are homeless, and some are very sick.

  
Below is a brief list of charities that you could donate to. Remember a donation doesn´t have to be money, it can be volunteering your time or simply spending your time with the elderly, sick or a shut-in that you already know.   

Please take a moment to pray for others,
and lend a hand when you can.
