Thanks for Caring – Giving Back Around West Cobb

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]As the holidays approach, I want to take the time to thank everyone that has helped me in my business, supported me in business and in my personal life, and those that have helped improve our community. But even as we have so much to be thankful for, there are others that are struggling, both financially and emotionally.

So I am sharing this list of places that could use our support this holiday season. If I have missed any, please send us a message. This is the season to keep spare change available for sidewalk donations, as well as making time on our calendars to give back.

And don’t forget the National Day of Giving on Tuesday, November 27. Created in 2012 by the 92nd Street Y in New York City to help focus on the charitable season. Today it is referred to as #GivingTuesday to give back in our local communities and around the world.
