As we do every year, the Northwest Arkansas Democrat-Gazette is asking area nonprofits what is on their Christmas wish lists -- volunteers, iPads, paper towels or gift cards, whatever they need. We hope our readers will reach out and make the holidays merry for the organizations that do so much for our communities all year long.
This list will continue to run in the Our Town section through Jan. 2. To have your organization included, email Becca Martin-Brown, Features editor, at [email protected].
