Local toy drives have a special place in our hearts because they directly impact the lives of children in our very own community. Your contribution, no matter how big or small, can make a world of difference to a child who may otherwise go without a gift during the holidays. By donating to local drives, you're not only spreading joy but also fostering a sense of togetherness and compassion. Where can you donate? Big Brothers and Big Sisters of RI: This local organization collects clothing and soft fabrics for children in need and distributes them to families within the community. You can donate to their bins at the VFW as well as the Cup Defenders on Wood St. Bristol Police Department: They often host a holiday toy drive, and donations can be dropped off at their headquarters. Local Churches: Many churches in Bristol actively participate in toy drives during the holiday season. Check with your local parish to see if they have a collection. Schools and Community Centers: Keep an eye out for toy collection bins at your local schools or community centers. If we can become aware of others and what the community is hosting this holiday season, one purchase, one drive, one thought can directly impact someone else this holiday season for the better. This is your Daily Dose of the day! #MondayMotivation #Donations #HolidaySeason #BristolRI #RhodeIsland #DailyDoseofBristolRI

Why It Matters:

Today is San Diego Gives, and we're asking you to join the local giving movement. All donations made today will be doubled (up to $15,000) thanks to a generous match made possible by California Bank & Trust. Donate now: https://bit.ly/3Pd6wmP When you think about how donations to local non-profits make an impact, consider these words from Emily Young from an op-ed she wrote recently in the The San Diego Union-Tribune: "The nonprofit sector is often on the leading edge of tackling society’s most urgent challenges, doing the work that businesses and governments either cannot or will not undertake. In so doing, nonprofits enhance the health and prosperity of the communities they serve." Remember, every $1 donated helps provide 4 meals when there is a match. That amounts to much-needed nutritious food for families, kids, seniors, military families and veterans, and college students who rely on Feeding San Diego's hunger-relief programs. Your gift, big or small, makes an impact – today and every day. #nonprofit #hungerrelief #foodrescue #sandiegogives #dayofgiving
