The best stories in Medina County!

 

A list of what area nonprofits need from the giving hearts of Medina County

If you do not see a nonprofit you are connected to or are familiar with, please have them send their wish list to Joy@BlakeHousePublishing.com with Giving Hearts in the subject line so it can be added to this page. 


In keeping with Joy of Medina County Magazine’s philosophy, no organization will be listed that promotes a religious belief or politics (this includes abortion/anti-abortion) as part of giving help.
