It’s that time of year when many non-profits send out requests for donations or to sign up as a sponsoring member. For those of you still considering what you may want to support, I’m reminding of the charities/community organizations right here in our town.
Whatever it is you value about Southborough, chances are there is a group that raises funds to support it. Below is a list in alpha order*:
- Algonquin Parent/Teacher Organization (APTO) (info link)
- Friends of the Council on Aging (supporting Senior Center programs) (info link)
- Friends of the Recreation Department (info link)
- Friends of the Southborough Library (info link)

In addition, the Town collects donations to funds for:

Donations to those funds can be made through the Unigold online payment portal here — enter Town of Southborough in the search field.
