Do your part on #GivingTuesday

 12/2/2013

Tomorrow is the second annual GivingTuesday. Maybe you’re thinking, “OK I kind of know CyberMonday, but Giving Tuesday, what’s that?”

 

 
 

It’s a pretty cool concept, actually. The idea is after those first big spending days of the holiday shopping season — and before we spend even more — we take a moment to give. The holidays are a time of giving after all.

The official goal of the movement is for the giving community — charities, nonprofits and corporations — to commit to a national day of giving. But as individuals, you, too, are a part of the giving community. While you may hear of many groups’ projects to commemorate the day tomorrow, you and your family can also show generosity in whatever ways you find meaningful. For instance, volunteering at a local charitable agency or donating to your favorite cause.

So, if you’ve ever toyed with the idea of giving to Goodwill, either monetarily or with goods, go with that feeling this Tuesday. All donations help us fulfill our mission to help people find jobs despite whatever barriers they might face. Check out our Facebook for a special way to show your support for Goodwill. You can also find out more about GivingTuesday at this link, including how families can participate and how to use the day as a vehicle for teaching kids about the giving side of the season.
