Been meaning to donate to that favorite local charity but haven’t gotten around to it yet? It is time to act. Thursday from 7 a.m.-midnight when you donate through Communities Foundation of Texas to any eligible nonprofit — and practically every one we know about  is on the list — your impact is tangibly increased because DonorBridge matches donations of $25 and up.

A few of the participating Lake Highlands-connected participants include: Healing Hands Ministries, Dallas CASA, LifeNet,  St. Patrick’s Catholic School and, well, there are about a thousand more. If you have a charity you would like to plug, freely use the comments section.
