Help Goodwill, community on #GivingTuesday

 11/22/2018

 

You have made your plans, large or small, for Black Friday and Cyber Monday. What are you doing for #GivingTuesday?

Celebrated on the Tuesday following Thanksgiving (in the U.S.), #GivingTuesday kicks off the giving season by inspiring people to collaborate and give back. Now is the time when many of us focus on our holiday and end-of-year giving. The #GivingTuesday movement looks to highlight the multitude of ways we can give to improve our communities. For example, your generous donations allow Goodwill to provide individuals right here in your community with low-cost job training and employment services to better their lives. Every year, Goodwill also places hundreds of local people in jobs because of your support!

Now, back to your plans for #GivingTuesday on November 27^th. You could help us reach our goal of $1,000, which we will use to ensure that individuals have everything they need to succeed in our programs. You can make your cash donation online. 

Or you can have fun with it and start a fundraiser campaign on Facebook. Choose Goodwill Industries of Tulsa (@GoodwillTulsa) as your cause and then encourage your friends and family to contribute. Even more awesome: Facebook and PayPal are matching donations made on Facebook up to $7 million starting on November 27^th.

So, whatever your plans, we hope you will consider giving to Goodwill or any of the other amazing nonprofits in your area. Join in and be a part of a global celebration of this growing tradition of generosity this #GivingTuesday.
