Leah moved to North Dakota when she was 12 years old and has traveled from the Red River Valley to the badlands and many places in between. She loves small-town life and currently enjoys living on a small farm in the ND prairie. She's always had a passion for writing and has participated in novel writing challenges such as NaNoWriMo multiple times. Her favorite part about this job is recognizing small businesses that deserve a boost and seeing the positive affect her articles can have on their traffic, especially in rural areas that might have otherwise gone overlooked.

Here are the 10 counties where residents gave the most in relation to the amount they earned:
This data only accounts for money donated and reported on income tax forms, but there are so many other ways North Dakotans can help out. Volunteer work, food banks, or donating clothes are just a few of the options for giving this season (and all year). Check out local nonprofit organizations in your area by clicking here.
