This Christmas, we invite you to join us in making a difference in our community. We’ve compiled a list of local charities that are especially dear to the heart of Legacy. These organizations rely on donations to bring hope and joy to others. Whether through financial contributions, donating goods, or giving your time, each act of kindness helps create a brighter season for everyone.
Let's come together to spread joy and kindness around like snowflakes!

Why Give Back During Christmas?
Christmas is a time to celebrate the gift of love, compassion, and community. By giving back, we embrace the true spirit of the season and uplift those around us. Your generosity—big or small—helps provide essential resources, warmth, and hope for families, individuals, and communities who may be struggling.
Giving back doesn’t just help those in need—it can lift your spirits and brighten your season, too. Research shows that acts of generosity activate areas of the brain associated with pleasure, connection, and trust. When we give, our brains release “feel-good” chemicals like dopamine and oxytocin, sometimes called the “helper’s high.” These natural responses make us feel more connected, happy, and fulfilled.
During the holiday season, giving to others also strengthens bonds with family, friends, and community, reminding us of what really matters. Whether it’s a financial donation, time spent volunteering, or gifting supplies to a local charity, each small act can make a big impact—not only for those we help but also for us.
We encourage you to select one of these charities (or choose one of your own), to bless this season.
