Season of Giving

By Julie Senger

Over the last decade, Family Life Magazines has been honored to partner with more than 100 community charities to help raise awareness about their important causes and inspire our readers to get involved and help others by making financial or material contributions or by volunteering their time. Below is a list of our Community Partners that are still active. During this holiday season of giving (or any time of year!), we hope you will consider helping one or more of the following organizations in any way you can. Each one is a certified 501c3 nonprofit, so donations are tax-deductible.
