b"CHARITY OF THE MONTHHELP FOR THE HOLIDAYSD ecember is the Month of Giving and it revolves around people making a difference in society by helping others. Horse rescues provide rehabilitation and permanent placement to abused, neglected, or at risk equines all year long. Some provide lifelong sanctuary to those equines unable to find permanent homes. Many offer education, advocacy, and support throughout the community.A donation to an equine charitable organization in your giftee's name could be a bona fide Christmas present this year. It restores the idea that the holidays are about caring for and helping others. 2023 has been a tough year for many rescue groups having to operate with fewer volunteers and smaller amounts of donations. Some groups will provide a small ornament, certificate, or letter that you can pass on to the recipient. Or you can make your own token, perhaps with a photo of the horse you honored or information about the mission of the charity involved. Theres also the option of telling your friends and family to make a donation to a charity of your choice instead of buying you a gift.
