The Mirror is seeking nominations for its 2023 Season of Sharing recipient.
Started in 2005, Season of Sharing uses the reach of the local newspaper and altoonamirror.com, the expertise of the Central Pennsylvania Community Foundation and residents' generosity to benefit area nonprofits.
The annual holiday appeal, now in its 19th year, has raised $376,254 since its inception.
Last year's campaign raised $37,198 for the St. Vincent de Paul Assumption Chapel Food Pantry.
"We know we'll get nominations from very deserving nonprofits, and we look forward to selecting another worthy recipient for Season of Sharing," Mirror Publisher Dan Slep said. "It's a program we're most proud of."
