Merry Christmas! This time of year, The Oregonian/OregonLive features nonprofits from Oregon and southwest Washington to highlight their good works for our longstanding Season of Sharing campaign.
Longtime features editor Grant Butler talks with Editor Therese Bottomly about the annual campaign, which runs roughly from Thanksgiving to the end of the year. The campaign was started by the Oregon Journal, an afternoon newspaper that served Portland until it merged with The Oregonian in 1982. At that time, The Oregonian took over the campaign and the tradition continues today.
Many readers donate by check but there are also online options, listed below. All proceeds benefit the nonprofits; The Oregonian/OregonLive bears any administrative costs.
If you want to give, you can choose one of the charities or give to the general fund, which will be evenly distributed among them.
