As it's the holiday season and the end of the tax year, I thought it might make sense once again to post a list of organizations in Dryden that could take donations. I believe, though I'm not entirely certain, that these are non-profit organizations, and therefore tax-exempt, but I could be wrong. Check with the organization if you have a question about that.
I've already posted a list of churches, and I'm sure they'd all happily accept donations, with the possible exception of Ellis Hollow Community Church, which is closed.
Other possible Dryden organizations for donations include:

Could you add the Freeville Food Pantry, a bi-weekly food distribution that will start in January? The Freeville United Methodist Church is actively seeking donations for the food distribution, as the church will need approximately $2500 to finance the first six months of the distribution to provide food for any who need it.

Simon, have you heard about Hero Miles? It's an organization that allows you to donate frequent flier miles to help troops get home on leave. Check it out:
