While you’re busy making a list and checking it twice, don’t forget that there are worthy non-profits making life better year-round for local LGBTQ people.
Non-profits always need benefactors. In 2020, multiply reasons to give by 1,000.
Sharing with organizations that make Atlanta a better place is also a year-end tax break, so giving back in some ways is like doing yourself a favor, too. Not to mention juicy, delicious queer karma.
Do it for them, do it for you, but just do it. Here are a few of our favorite local non-profits for your consideration this year.
Hereâs a rundown of those events:
Many Moods of Christmas
Peachtree Road United Methodist Church will host the Many Moods of Christmas Concert Dec. 13, with the online-only childrenâs choir performance at 5:15 p.m., followed by the online and in-person Many Moods concert at 5:30 p.m. Those attending the 5:30 concert in person must RSVP.
Because in-person seating is limited due to the restrictions put in place by the outbreak, attendees must preregister/RSVP.

Spelman-Morehouse concert
The 94th annual Spelman-Morehouse Christmas Carol Concert, one of Atlanta’s most anticipated holiday events, will be held virtually this year due to the pandemic. Set for Dec. 16 at 7:30 p.m., it will be streamed via www.spelman.edu and the Spelman College Facebook page, as well as the Morehouse College YouTube page.
