Nonprofits weave a tapestry of support for their communities, providing threads of hope for people and animals alike. Helping senior and special-needs dogs, Bob’s House for Dogs (E3015 County Rd. HH, Eleva) has been the Valley’s favorite for 10 years! Beaver Creek Reserve (S1 County Hwy. K, Fall Creek) jumped up a spot from last year. Connect with nature through activities like snowshoeing, hiking, or bird watching, or take a class and learn something new, like beekeeping! Back on the list this year, Feed My People Food Bank (2610 Alpine Rd., Eau Claire) believes everyone deserves a meal. Annually, 5.85 million meals are distributed throughout the area. Community support for the win! —Stephanie Nesja
