Around 1,000 children in Rutherford County are considered homeless or as having no permanent home. The diagnosis of autism continues to increase. Domestic violence and child abuse is prevalent. Literacy issues and language barriers still exist.

If you’re interested in making 2015 a year to serve your community, here are some choices of organizations you can help locally, along with national awareness months that may help maximize your donations dollars.

JANUARY

After Christmas, many pantries and nonprofits that provide food to the hungry may need restocking come January. For those who deal directly with homeless, pop-top canned foods, nonperishables and toiletries are in great need.
