This year, more people face unemployment and financial insecurity than in years past, so if you’re able it’s the perfect time to give back to the community through local charitable organizations.

For example, the Spirit of Christmas in Chippewa Falls offers holiday gifts to underprivileged families and individuals in Chippewa County, with a focus on children aged 17 and under as a result of generous donations from people like you!

There are also numerous nonprofit organizations that help folks in need year round, such as Hope Gospel Mission, Feed My People Food Bank, The Community Table in Eau Claire, the multiple community tables in Menomonie, the St. Francis Food Pantry, Big Brothers Big Sisters of Northwestern Wisconsin, Bolton Refuge House, Can Do Canines, Boys & Girls Clubs of the Greater Chippewa Valley, local humane associations, and many more!
