UNSUNG HEROES
by Ann Marie Kennon
silent samaritans I
n WIlliamson County, there is much valor and virtue in the hearts of the smaller, less well-known non-profits. These organizations regularly weave threads of hope and warmth into the fabric of the community, but are sometimes overshadowed by the glitz and glamor of the holiday season. These silent samaritans, perhaps unknown to many, will also labor to fill the lives of the less fortunate with the spirit of holiday joy and kindness. They sprinkle goodwill, expecting nothing in return but the smiles (or tail wags) of those they serve.
If you are looking to be a part of their stories this holiday season by donating or lending a helping hand, here is your invitation to visit their websites and social media pages to find out what needs they may have and how you can support. On the left are the agency names, and on the right, the demographics they serve.
