Non-profits across the country are entering a very important time for them.

The Christmas season is a season of giving for many as individuals, families, and businesses make sizeable charitable contributions to non-profits in their communities and those near and dear to them.

On the WHOW Morning Show Tuesday, incoming Executive Director of Willow Tree Missions in Piatt County, Jill Maxey told Regional Radio News they hope central Illinois will consider them when these conversations and designations come around for them.

As the new year approaches, many may be motivated to offer more of their time to charity in 2022 as a part of new year's resolutions. Maxey says they have a great need for volunteers right now from working in its retail store to helping at the new downtown Monticello location and its renovation.

A contribution to Willow Tree Missions may end up in a variety of places. According to Maxey, they are focused on dispersing donations back into programming but also into its downtown facility renovation.
