Holiday Charity: Big Impact, Local Roots
In Episode 2, Maggie and Perry dive into the world of holiday giving — the good, the complicated, and the meaningful. Together, they unpack what makes a charity trustworthy, how to ensure your money is truly helping people, and why sometimes the most impactful giving happens locally, not through the biggest national organizations.
Drawing from years of hands-on outreach, they share practical tips and real stories that help listeners understand where their generosity can create the most immediate change. Perry highlights the “small wins” — simple, tangible actions anyone can take to love their neighbor well during the holiday season.
