The holidays are coming up, and that means it’s time to make shopping lists and buy gifts for the ones you love.
While holiday shopping is one of my favorite parts of the season, it’s also important to remember to give back to people who are not your family. Donating money to reputable charities or your church are great ways to do charitable giving.
Another way to give back to your community is shopping local, and Nacogdoches has many opportunities for shopping small.
