Make Giving a Holiday Priority
Scoring the best deals doesn't have to be a Black Friday or Cyber Monday-only affair. The best gift this season is what you give to others. Join the #GivingTuesday movement sweeping the nation and get caught up in the spirit of helping others . . .
1. Donate to your favorite charity: Get online now and make a donation to make a difference. Whether it's your favorite national cause or a local nonprofit with a special place in your heart, your contribution big or small is a great way to get involved on Giving Tuesday.
2. Spread the word online: Giving Tuesday is largely a social media initivate driven by people sharing how they are giving back - follow hashtags #GivingTuesday and #unselfie. Giving Tuesday crosses generations, cities, states
3. Serve with a charitable organization: Get out and DO GOOD on Giving Tuesday. Volunteer at your local food bank of animal shelter, cook a meal for a homeless shelter, help an elderly neighbor run errands, clean up your local park, the ideas are endless! Connect with a local organization taking part in the movement or coordinate your own service project with family & friends.
4. Donate goods & items: Make Giving Tuesday your deadline for cleaning up and cleaning out - find gently used coats, blankets, hats, and scarves and take them to a local re-store or rescue mission. Go out and buy kids toys and drop them at a local toy drive or giving tree.
5. Just give: Get out and give - hope, help, love, kindness, smiles - whatever you can, wherever you can, however you can.
