Organizations We’re Supporting on Giving Tuesday 2024

As a law firm dedicated to making vulnerable people whole again, we are proud to support organizations that are making a real difference in our communities. Every year, each of our staff members chooses a charity to receive a donation from Wilson Kehoe Winingham on their behalf.

This Giving Tuesday, we’ve selected charities focused on education, animal welfare, social inequality, humanitarian aid, mental health, and more. We hope their work inspires others to give back and make a meaningful impact on the lives of those in need. With the power of collective action, we can create lasting change.
