April sees one of our most popular issues of the year, and its topic is quick to reveal the heart of Berks County: giving. Year after year, our “Giving” issue has garnered attention and praise, and we love that! Whether you’re looking for a place to lend your time, to donate items, or even share some of your hard-earned money, there is an effort in Berks that is sure to resonate with you – and you just may discover it in this month’s pages.
Flip to page 26 to learn more about a host of Berks County’s nonprofits. From supporting children and seniors, to aiding animals and medical causes, there is no shortage of causes to give back to and that benefit those living right here in the Greater Reading area.
On page 22, meet six sensational youth demonstrating that the future of Berks really is bright. These givers are truly inspirational. From tackling social issues like mental health and racial equality to collecting items for other children to enjoy at Christmastime, they give us hope and put smiles on our faces.
Berks businesses are big givers, too. Turn to page 34 to meet four of them and discover how they act as area philanthropists.
April also marks the celebration of Earth Day on the 22nd. In this month’s The Look on page 18 we show you where to shop for sustainable fashions and how to make the most of what’s already part of your wardrobe.
Finally, don’t miss the reveal of our annual Who’s Who People’s Choice Leaders on page 39. Congratulations to all of those voted as being at the top of their game! And a sincere thank you for voting us your favorite leading local magazine.
