It’s almost Chanukah time and the season of giving is at the forefront in many non-material ways. As we light the candles on the Chanukah menorah, we are aware that one of the most meaningful gifts to give is our time as well as a contribution to a cause that makes a difference. Together, we can brighten the lives of others, make a difference, and remember the endless causes in need of our vital support.
