The holidays are the perfect time to give back, but it can be daunting to figure out the right way. Should you volunteer at a soup kitchen? Contribute clothing to the Salvation Army? Host a fundraiser? One of the easiest ways to lend a helping hand is simply to donate money to your favorite cause, but even that poses some challenges.

Which charity should you choose? The short answer: There isn’t really a wrong decision. The whole idea is that you’re picking a charity that resonates with you and, if it does, everybody wins.

Of course, it’s always smart to do some research to find out where your donations are going. Ideally, you want the majority of the funds to go to the mission, not to peripheral activities or events. A good starting point is GuideStar, which has up-to-date information and financial records for nearly two-million charitable organizations.

Still not sure? Here are 10 of our top picks for food nonprofits this season, or really any time.

Be Nice and Share!

Warrior Fit Testimonials

First, I want to say thank you for convincing me to do Tabata! I was struggling to lose weight and Finally I found something that helped! I really appreciate your coaching! - Craig T.

Ever since I was convinced to do Tabata I have seen huge results, I lost 6 pounds and gained energy in the first 3 weeks. I have been working out for 3 months before I decided to do Tabata and I struggled to lose weight. At first I thought "How am I losing weight by bringing my heart rate up then cooling down then bringing it up again?" I don’t know how it works but it does! Thank you!! - Theresa F.

The first day of Tabata, I wondered WHAT AM I DOING - I AM 56 !! Five weeks later I knew that it was what I needed. I learned that I could push myself well beyond my comfort zone and feel good later. I have a marked improvement in physical as well as emotional endurance. - Lyn C.

When I was first told about Tabata I was very excited from the word go, however that excitement stemmed from the fact that I had no clue what it meant. I missed the first week of class b/c I was traveling for work so when I came in during the 2nd week I had some making it up to do. It was hard at first b/c my body wasn't used to working out at such a fast pace, but once I got into a rhythm I started to feel very good. These classes are no joke. If you stick with it you will leave there feeling stronger, healthier and overall better about yourself and what you've accomplished. I would recommend these classes to anyone. Darrin is a great trainer and he'll keep you going with his energy. - Jami L.
