Giving—Help Yourself and Others this Holiday Season

By Greg Kelly

Want a good reason to make a charitable donation this holiday season? It’s makes for better health—for you. New research by a University at Albany-SUNY economics professor finds that donors have “a lower probability of suffering health-related problems including high blood pressure, cancer, heart attack, and obesity.”

While Professor Baris Yoruk focused more on the receiving of tax deductions for charitable (an important consideration), he also maintains that “donating to charity may actually improve a giver’s physical and emotional wellbeing.” So why not make yourself and others well this holiday season.

The following Monmouth County-based charitable/volunteer/service organizations (along with some worthy arts groups) give it their all on a daily basis to support and service those less fortunate as well as the community at large. Please remember them kindly this holiday season.

(And keep in mind—a generous donation to your local police, fire, first aid and/or public works department is both a smart and safe contribution.)
