Those in Need
With the holiday season on the brink of being in full swing, many people are busy cooking, travelling, shopping, and wrapping up last minute things at work preparing to be with family and friends.
Many people are looking to give back to the community by volunteering at soup kitchens, food pantries and putting together food baskets to deliver to those in need, or by contributing to charity.
A place to consider donating needed items to might also be your local Animal Refuge League. Many cats, dogs, and other animals awaiting families to adopt them need help too.
The local Animal Refuge League here in Portland has a website with their Wish-List posted right on the website. Their List does note that there are some items they cannot accept and also advises to call the League ahead of time if you have an item you’d like to donate but is not listed on their list.

An Animal Refuge League in your area might need some help through the winter and it might be a nice idea to check out their website for their Wish List. A little may go a long way in brightening an animal’s day!
