Two young ladies, who are going to be seniors this fall at Buhl High School, are working on their senior project, and they could use your help.

A local group in Twin Falls will be holding a special event this spring to raise awareness for suicide prevention and will unite the community as well.

There aren't many occurrences when women get to feel this way, but they will have that chance to feel like a princess for one night only this month.

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.

They fund relief efforts on the local level and worldwide.

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.

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.

South Central Community Action Partnership is celebrating their 20th annual 60 Hours to Fight Hunger to help feed families in the Magic Valley. The event starts on November 19th and runs until 10 p.m. on Saturday November 21st.

Tuesday October 20th you can give back to the community and help build bikes for Twin Falls youth who otherwise may not have one. No experience building bikes necessary, big hearts required.

What is very nice to learn is some of the money spent benefits charitable causes.

It's the season of giving...unless you live in Idaho.
