Your Dollars & Sense: Making the most of charitable donations

NORTH TEXAS — The holidays are a great time of year to give back and donate to a charitable organization if you can. But the past couple of years, inflation and other economic conditions have made it harder for some people to open up their wallets.

So what do you do if you want to give this year? Keith has some tips. Learn more by watching the video above.
