The Herald plans to publish its annual Ways to Give list on Nov. 18. Ways to Give lets readers know about charitable groups that need help during the holiday season.

Here’s the information we need: the name of your organization, what services you provide, hours, address, Web site, a phone number to be included in the listing, a phone number for confirmation, and what items or services your organization needs.

Submit information by Nov. 8 to Herald Community Extra coordinator Gale Fiege, P.O. Box 930, Everett, WA 98206, or e-mail community@heraldnet.com.
