Charitable Giving

There are many local and national charities which do wonderful things to improve the lives of those in our communities. If you have questions about donating to charity and the effects doing so might have on your finances, e-mail or call Michael to discuss this.  He has seen first hand how these organizations benefit those they serve.  Below, in no particular order, are some of his favorites:
