As we enter the season of giving, Monterey County’s volunteer community is coming together to support families, seniors, and neighbors in need. This year’s holiday initiatives include food drives, gift-giving programs, warm-coat collections, and community events designed to lift spirits and bring people together. From local nonprofit celebrations to countywide volunteer opportunities, there are countless ways to help make the holidays brighter for those who need it most. Join us in spreading compassion, connection, and holiday cheer throughout our community.
