Giving is a very important need in my life. Formerly, as a teacher, I had many opportunities throughout the year for giving. There were often students in my school or classroom that could use extra assistance. Our school faithfully gave out more than 25 Christmas baskets to families in our school.
Now staying home with my children, although I give to them everyday, I was missing the good feelings you get when you help someone truly in need. I had to seek out places to give using my talent of photography. Last holiday season I took family portraits for residents staying in My Father's House, a non-profit homeless shelter for families with children. Recently joining Now I Lay Me Down To Sleep has helped fill that need for giving.
This year I have also connected with Bethany House. This is a wonderful non-profit home here in Gresham for expectant teen mothers. I am able to take intimate, professional images of these newborns when they are born. I have posted the two newest babies to the home. Another one should be here by February.
If you are looking for a place to give this holiday season, please consider these wonderful non-profit charities. They could all use a little help this holiday season!
