Giving Tuesday is the Tuesday following Thanksgiving and was introduced in 2012 to encourage charitable contributions during a time of much spending and consumerism in the United States.
It has since become a global effort and continues to grow each year.
The idea is not just about sending money to a charity, it is about giving time, sharing kindness, spreading the word about good causes.
Here are some charities or ethical companies I would like to share with you to support:
NAMI – National Alliance of Mental Illness
International Sanctuary and Purpose Jewelry
Childhelp
American Red Cross
Humane Society
Any local shelter in your area.
This post was not something I took the time to plan well, but prefer posting something imperfect in hopes of reaching at least a few people, rather than not trying at all. There are so many I would add that I am not thinking of right now.
Go give some good today! Whether it’s dropping your change in the red kettle in front of the grocery store, taking some old clothes to the thrift store, handing a blanket or food to a person on the streets. And if you can donate to an organization today the receives matching funds, that would be really great!
Add your favorite charities in the comments to help spread the word!
