Giving Back There’s No Better Time Than Now In the wake of Hurricane Dorian’s destruction, we want to highlight this Thanksgiving season as a time for giving to those less fortunate. So, in the spirit of the holiday, we encourage you to consider donating to a worthwhile cause. Here are some wonderful ideas for where to start. BAHAMAS HURRICANE RECOVERY While donating physical supplies like cases of water or unused toiletries is helpful, relief organizations say the most effective way to help those in the Bahamas devastated by Dorian is with cash donations. Shipping and distributing donated goods rack up extra costs that could have gone directly to survivors. Your donations instead go directly to purchases like generators and cleaning supplies, and because they’re bought in the Bahamas, it helps the economy get back on its feet. Visit Bahamas.com/ relief to see where you can donate. PEGGY ADAMS ANIMAL RESCUE LEAGUE For over 90 years, Peggy Adams Animal Rescue League has been sheltering, treating, fixing, microchipping, and adopting out thousands of lost and abandoned pets. Recently, they’ve started taking in Bahamian animals that were displaced by Hurricane Dorian. You can volunteer your time at their facility or one of their events, or you can donate pet supplies and goods directly by visiting PeggyAdams.org/donate.
LITTLE SMILES FLORIDA From St. Lucie to Miami-Dade County, this organization fulfills the needs of newborns to young adults in local hospitals, hospices, and shelters. Whether the kids they treat have life-altering illnesses, suffer from abandonment, or experience other trauma, Little Smiles believes in the power of providing toys, clothes, fun events, and transportation to kids who simply don’t have any. Sign up to volunteer your time or host a toy drive at LittleSmilesFL.org/get-involved. BIG HEART BRIGADE Big Heart Brigade feeds less fortunate families, former service members, and former first responders throughout the year, but they’re best known for their annual Thanksgiving Feast. Thousands of volunteers from South Florida prepare and distribute Thanksgiving meals to those who don’t have the means to traditionally celebrate the holiday. Volunteer your time or donate Christmas gifts by visiting BigHeartBrigade.com/volunteer.
