Want to help area nonprofits?

During the holiday season, we will publish a wish list for nonprofit organizations. Check back for updates.

Dorothy Day House

The Carbon County Dorothy Day House in Lansford is helping needy families in Carbon County during Christmas for the third year.

Last year, the group was able to reach 70 children.

The organization is giving away Christmas presents, Christmas trees and decorations and food this year, but it needs the community’s help to accomplish its goal.

The group is in need of new toys, games and clothing for children ages newborn to 18; as well as Christmas trees and decorations.

Donations by purchasing a gift through the group’s Amazon Christmas Wishlist can also be found at www.amazon.com/registries/holiday/1W2NXTOXUIEM2/guest-view.

In addition, the Carbon County Dorothy Day House is in need of diapers; space heaters; new blankets; new mattresses; toys for children of all ages; coats for children of all sizes; gift cards to grocery stores; and gift cards for gas for our pantry drivers

For more information or to set up a delivery or pickup, contact Ericka Williams-Rodriguez, outreach coordinator, at 908-357-8858.

Dylan and Gavin’s Rainbow

Dylan and Gavin’s Rainbow is a local 501(c)3 nonprofit organization in memory of our teenage sons, who both fought short, courageous battles with cancer. We provide financial and spiritual support as well as gifts to any siblings, to families who are experiencing a serious illness of a child or loss of a child. We are always looking for various types of gift cards to share with the families and we do provide financial support as well, so we do accept monetary donations.

Our contact information is Dylan and Gavin’s Rainbow P.O. Box 511, Lehighton, PA 18235 or dylanandgavinsrainbow@gmail.com.

Email tneditor@tnonline.com to let us know what’s on your list. Include your contact information so people can fulfill your wishes.

We will publish them in the Times News during the holiday season.
