Giving guide: How to make an impact in Arkansas for years to come

After saving big on Black Friday, consider giving back on Giving Tuesday (Nov. 28) to one of Arkansas’ nonprofits. Among the list of worthy causes:

• Birch Tree Communities Inc.: This organization champions recovery from mental health issues and currently serves 400 adults.

• We Are The 22: When a suicidal veteran calls this local crisis line, a fellow veteran responds in person. This peer-to-peer interaction has saved over 340 lives.

• Friendship Community Care: From physical, occupational and speech therapies to transportation, this humanitarian organization is devoted to enabling people with disabilities to “receive quality services that empower them to lead dignified lives.”
