Today is Giving Tuesday. It’s also that time of year when many non-profits send out requests for donations or to sign up as a sponsoring member. For those of you considering which non-profits you want to support this year, I’m reminding of the many charities/community organizations right here in our town.
Whatever it is you value about Southborough, chances are there is a group that raises funds to support it.
Before I list those, a reminder that yesterday, I also posted about holiday collection drives currently in progress. You can find those details here.
Now, here are Southborough/community charities in alpha order:
- Algonquin Parent/Teacher Organization (APTO) (info link)
- Friends of the Council on Aging (supporting Senior Center programs) (info link)
- Friends of the Recreation Department (info link)
- Friends of the Southborough Library (info link)
