WHO CAN I HELP?

1. Teach a young person about giving using CharityChecks. A great way to enable a young person's journey into service to others.

2. Donate a toy to a child in need. If you do not have the time to invest in personally helping a child or a family, then donate a toy to a toy drive in your area. Find one near you using secretsanta.org's zip code directory below.

3. Offer support to a local housing facility for women.

If you want to propagate the Spirit of St. Nicholas through anonymous support of a child or a family, here is a starter list of resources compiled for you. If you don't see a resource in your area, try contacting a local church, synagogue, or mosque. If you know of internet resources for homeless families that should be included in this list, please email the web address for review to joel@spiritofstnicholas.org.
