12 Charities For Christmas: Day 1 – Diaper Drop

We’ve all heard the saying: Christmas is a time of giving.

But it’s also a time of need for many, many people. After talking with Jennifer about causes we’ve given to and causes we wish we could give to, I decided that the least I can do is spread the word! So for the next 12 days, I’m going to share 12 charities that are in need this season.

If there’s a charity you would like to add, feel free to leave it in the comments!

If everyone who reads this gives just a little bit, we can make a surprising difference this Christmas season.

For day one of 12 Charities For Christmas, we’re looking at Christmas Diaper Drop by WaterWerks Communication.
