Northwest Arkansas Democrat-Gazette
TASC, Arkansas Public Theatre, Equality Crew, WAC
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.
