As we embrace the holiday season’s themes of love, joy, and peace, we may still sometimes get caught up in our own busyness and overlook opportunities to help others. This holiday giving season we approach not only the end of the calendar year, but also the end of the decade – what a great time to consider donating to MUM! Here are some good reasons to donate before the end of December:

2. Giving to MUM helps people right here in our community. People are hungry, and faced with other life challenges, every day. The holidays can be especially tough on those with less. Your donation can help our neighbors in need of food assistance, eviction prevention, utility cutoff prevention and restoration, and prescription drug assistance.
3. Your December donation can help those with less make it through the winter. As we move into the winter months, we’ll face colder weather and increased utility costs. Cold and flu season will reach its peak. Illness can be deadly to those who can’t afford vital medications.
4. Your donation can honor loved ones. Many of us are blessed with all the “things” that we need, but gifts of generosity strengthen the spirit and make us feel good! Giving to MUM to honor someone you love is the perfect gift!
5. Giving is good for you! Studies show that when we give – our time, our possessions, or our money – we feel good. Scientists say that we are “hardwired” to enjoy helping others. Research also suggests that giving can make us healthier, both physically and mentally. Each day the news and social media showcase stories of charity and goodwill. We are drawn to these stories because it feels good to witness compassion and kindness. It feels even better to be the source of that compassion and kindness.

MUM wishes everyone – our clients, our volunteers, and our generous sponsors, donors, and contributors – a warm, wonderful holiday season full of joy and happiness. Thank you for your consideration and year-end contribution that allows us to help our neighbors in need! Happy holidays from all of us at MUM!
