If you keep up with our Wellspring blogs at all you know by now

that Bethany & I love to give back to the community & to the world.

We have both been very blessed in our lives and know that not everyone is as fortunate as we are,

so we try to make a difference when we can!

This holiday season I would like you to consider making a donation to one of these 3 organizations;

you may want to make a donation as a gift in addition to all the gifts you are already giving to loved ones, or in lieu of gifts.

I usually like to give a modest gift AND make a donation:)

The first local charity is Serenity Farms in Luckey, Ohio.

SF is a farm that promotes animal assisted therapy for people with physical, mental or emotional disabilities.

I have done some volunteer work for them, grooming horses and cleaning stalls, but they could always use  more help.

I have volunteered for this second local organization as well. 

Assistance Dogs of America Inc. is located in Swanton, Ohio

and is such a great group; they train therapy & service dogs, and these dogs change lives!

The volunteers and employees at ADAI are always working hard to help others;

My last charity is an organization that I have been donating to over the past year.

I sponsor a woman named Mary who was a victim of rape & war crimes in the Congo.

A donation each month to Women For Women helps a war survivor rebuild her life and  get educated.

What I love most about this program is that it teaches a victim how to help herself and how to make her life better.

Even if you choose not  to make a donation to one of the charities I've suggested,

I hope that you will make a donation or volunteer for a charity or person in need this holiday season (and all year!).

And don't forget…for each new Facebook fan we get in December we will make a donation to Hannah's Socks!

If you are already a fan: suggest us to all your Facebook friends:)

Thank you SO much and I hope everyone has a very merry Christmas!
