Living in Twin Falls has many perks. The view is beautiful, there are tons of places to eat, the people are friendly, but one specific perk to the area is having Chobani in town.

Are you in the giving spirit this holiday season? Do you like to run? Those things may not seem to go together, but they actually do better than you think.

A local Twin Falls business is collecting blankets to help keep people in the Magic Valley warm. After they are collected they will be distributed to different organizations throughout the Magic Valley.

Idaho Angels is a non-profit organization that helps southern Idahoans however they can. They have collected clothing, school supplies, money, food, etc. and helped hundreds of people in the process. Right now they are trying to get enough food to help feed families over the holidays.

The Magic Valley Beer Festival will return this year at Twin Falls City Park with the addition of VIP tickets. This event is so much fun every year and if you like to attend, you may want to upgrade to the VIP experience.

The Stuff the Bus event happens a few times every year and it helps children in the area who are in need. Some families can't afford bedding for their children, have been uprooted or a fire caused them to lose things. Whatever the case may be, no child should have to sleep on the floor. The Stuff the Bus Event helps with that.

Causes vary with more than 20 options to choose from including: animals, veterans, arts, education, seniors, and health and wellness.

I started this on a whim and I am so excited it is getting traction. I have decided to participate in a fundraiser for "Stop Soldier Suicide" which is a 501c3 that supports veterans and soldiers who suffer from PTSD.

Dang it! One of my favorite events of all time has been cancelled for 2021. Death By Chocolate has been cancelled for 2021 and a date has been rescheduled for 2022.

I am the first one to admit I am not as charitable as I should be, and I blame a lot of that on money and finances. There are ways to be charitable this season, if you feel like you would like to be, without spending a dime.

The new results from WalletHub say that Idaho is not really a charitable state. We are more of a lukewarm wet blanket to those in need.
