December is the month of cold weather, hot cocoa, online shopping, and–most of all–giving. Between giving gifts and contributing to charities, there’s something about the holiday season makes me want to donate clothes or toys and contribute money to a great charity. If you’re looking to make a difference in someone’s holiday by giving a little bit to those who need it most, we’ve compiled a list of a few charity events and organizations that are on the horizon to make seasons bright. {Plus, Santa needs some help dispersing his sack of presents…}

You're totally welcome to wear your ugly Christmas sweater to any of these events ;)
