The holiday season is back!

Cooking the feast. Decorating the house. Buying the gifts. Wrapping the presents. Yup, all of it.

As the founder of Do Some Good, a communications firm focused on philanthropic partnerships and a Westchester mom of two, I know this time of year is jam packed. I also know that our generous Westchester community wants to add giving back to that very long to-do list.

To make things easy, I’m sharing a few charities that you and your family can help out during the holidays.

Mayor’s Challenge: Bring Joy This Holiday Season

This year, Mayor Arest has issued a special challenge: “Fill a Van for Toys for Tots.” Help make the holidays brighter for children in need by bringing an unwrapped toy to the event. Donations will be collected in the Marine Corps’ Toys for Tots van, prominently parked at Boniface Circle. Your contribution can make this holiday season extra special for a child in need.

A special thanks to the Parks, Recreation and Conservation Department, Department of Public Works, Scarsdale Police and Fire Departments, Scarsdale Volunteer Ambulance Corps, the Weinberg Nature Center, the Scarsdale Library, the Scarsdale Edgemont Family Counseling Services and the Scarsdale Business Alliance, for making this wonderful event come together.

With the holiday season nearing, it is the perfect time to honor the holiday spirit by giving back to the community. Whether that is through donating your time or your resources, there are ample opportunities to make a positive impact and give back to those who work actively to serve us. Being an intern of the Scarsdale Business Alliance, I have been able to see organizations of the Scarsdale community that work fervently throughout the year to help the community and make meaningful changes.

Specifically, I have gained firsthand insight into how the Scarsdale Edgemont Family Counseling Service, a non-profit, strives to make a difference through its unique programs.

With a spirit of service and compassion, students and Feeding Westchester employees canvassed the area, encouraging community members to contribute both monetary and food donations. Their efforts were met with incredible support from the community, resulting in a substantial impact.

According to Feeding Westchester, the event raised approximately $9,000 in just a few hours, along with numerous food donations, all of which will go toward supporting families who are facing food insecurity.
