Nonprofits to Volunteer With This Holiday Season
Give back to local organizations this December -- some right in your own backyard.
Feeling generous this holiday season? The following five local nonprofit organizations in Westchester County can help you give back.
Donate used dresses or tuxes to Operation Prom, who will give them out to high schoolers around America. Not every student may be able to afford a $300 dress or a tux rental, but they should at least be able to afford the memories.
