Opportunities to Spread Holiday Cheer
These organizations could use your help during the season of giving and all year long.
In these times when so many are in need of a little help and so few are unable to give it, generosity of spirit means all the more.
We have put together a list of non-profits and charities that serve Moorpark and can use a little assistance, whether it's as simple as donating craft supplies or as vital as giving food items or as poignant as spending time with hospice patients. If you have time or money or goods to share, consider helping one of the groups below.
