Patch Picks: Area Nonprofits

Each Thursday, Patch will run a weekly feature called “Patch Picks,” highlighting editor and reader picks of great local businesses, destinations, services, organizations, ways to spend a day off and more.

You’ll find useful lists to help you, your family, friends, and significant others find the best places for everything from Sunday brunch to New Year’s Eve celebrations, pumpkin patches, date night destinations, florists, girlfriend nights out, kids party places, parks and more.

This week, we’ve decided to offer a list of local and regional nonprofit organizations that could always use a helping hand.
