First and second hours: How to help local non-profits during the holidays

Our listeners asked, and we're delivering: two shows that will offer a wide-ranging look at what local organizations need to help make the holidays special for thousands of kids in poverty, women in crisis, families in need. And we'll get specific: exactly what you can do to help, whether it's offering time, gifts, or other resources.
