The Granite United Way Guide to Gifts and Giving

It’s almost time for the latest and greatest toys, electronics and deals to dominate the television airwaves for what will likely feel like months on end, and that can only mean one thing – the holidays are upon us.

But while many of us make our way to store after store looking for the perfect gift for everyone on our shopping list, there are lots of people out there not as fortunate. Many of our community members won’t find any gifts under the tree this year, not unless you decide to help out.

Every year, the Insider teams up with the Granite United Way to spread the word about nonprofit organizations, food pantries and service groups in the area that need you help, whether it be through volunteering or donations.

So if you keep reading, you’ll find lots of ways you can make a difference this holiday season. There’s a big need for nonperishable food items, clothing, toys for young children and personal care items, as well as your time. And keep in mind that this list is just the tip of the iceberg – there are plenty more groups that could use help this year.

And for information about additional volunteer opportunities available, please contact Val Guy at val.guy@graniteuw.org or call 224-2595, ext. 226.
