Northwest Arkansas Democrat-Gazette

TASC, Arkansas Public Theatre, Equality Crew, WAC

- BECCA MARTIN-BROWN

As we do every year, the Northwest Arkansas Democrat-Gazette is asking area nonprofits what is on their Christmas wish lists — volunteers, iPads, paper towels or gift cards, whatever they need. We hope our readers will reach out and make the holidays merry for the organizati­ons that do so much for our communitie­s all year long.

This list started on Thanksgivi­ng Day in the Our Town section and will wrap up on Jan. 5. To have your organizati­on included, email Features Editor Becca Martin-Brown at bmartin@nwaonline.com.
