A Word From Oprah

In the December issue of The Oprah Magazine, local nonprofit, Cheerful Givers is included in an article titled "The Giving Spree," which begins "What's on your wish list this year? Profound happiness? Deep gratitude? A better world? They can all be yours if you follow O's guide to giving what you've got. We've rounded up an abundance of inspiring ways to share a little cash, show off your skills and make every moment count. Consider it our present to you!"

Among the many ideas listed under 'Your Time Well Spent' is to "Assemble gift bags for Cheerful Givers (cheerfulgivers.org), a nonprofit that distributes birthday presents to kids at food pantries and shelters".
