The holidays are a joyous time, but it’s easy to forget that thousands of families won’t have gifts to open, trees to decorate, or even a place to call home this season.
But you can do your part this winter and give back to those in need — and in more ways than you might think. From donating clothes to volunteering and helping stray animals, we compiled a list of organizations that you can support!

Pick Up Please
You can schedule a free pickup of gently used clothing and household items, which will be donated to a veteran and his/her family in need. It may not seem like much, but it can make all the difference in someone’s life.
