Why Local Giving Matters More Than Ever

This time of year, there can be added pressures with the holiday season. Overall, communities are experiencing an unprecedented rise in community need.

Local investment is one of the most effective ways to close that gap. When there is an identified need, we can mobilize to meet it.

Local giving strengthens the programs Aidronians rely on every day. It helps families struggling to pay rent, young people falling behind in school, newcomers facing isolation, and seniors navigating the challenges of aging in place. These issues affect every corner of our city, often quietly, often urgently.

There has never been a more important time to give locally. The impact is immediate and far-reaching.

So, to add to your wish list this holiday season, please make a line item to give back locally. Even a small amount helps. Or, the donation of your time is also equally valuable!
