A New Year’s Resolution with Purpose: Strengthen Your Community Through Giving

As the new year begins, many of us are setting goals to better ourselves—whether through healthier habits, new skills, or stronger relationships. But what if your New Year’s resolution could also strengthen your community and bring hope to those in need? This year, consider making a resolution to support local nonprofits. It’s a commitment that not only transforms lives but also offers unexpected rewards for you as a donor.


When you choose to give to a local nonprofit, your impact is immediate and visible. Nonprofits like Servants rely on the generosity of individuals to fulfill their mission of providing no-cost home repairs for low-income seniors and people with disabilities. Your donation helps create safer living environments, prevent falls, and restore dignity to our neighbors who might otherwise feel forgotten. These tangible outcomes foster stronger, healthier communities where everyone can thrive.


Beyond the difference you make in others’ lives, giving to a cause you believe in brings its own personal rewards. Studies show that acts of generosity boost mental well-being, reduce stress, and even improve physical health. Knowing you’ve played a role in improving someone’s life creates a profound sense of purpose and connection. In a world often marked by division, giving reminds us of our shared humanity and the power of collective action.

The beauty of supporting local nonprofits is that every contribution, no matter the size, has a meaningful impact. Whether you choose to give monthly or make one-time donations, your gifts help sustain critical programs and enable nonprofits to plan for the future with confidence. Monthly giving, in particular, provides organizations like Servants with a steady, reliable source of funding—allowing us to respond quickly to urgent needs while also pursuing long-term goals.


Making giving part of your New Year’s resolution can be as simple as setting up a recurring donation or volunteering your time. At Servants, we’ve seen firsthand how consistent support from our community fuels transformation—not just in the lives of those we serve but also in the hearts of our donors and volunteers.


This year let’s resolve to invest in kindness and compassion. By supporting local nonprofits, you’re not just giving money—you’re giving hope, dignity, and the assurance that no one has to face life’s challenges alone. Together, we can make 2025 a year of lasting impact.
