The holiday season is in full swing, and it can be easy to get wrapped up in the excitement of gift-giving, holiday parties, and adrenaline-pumping sales. However, after celebrating Thanksgiving, Black Friday, and Cyber Monday, it’s essential to take time to give back. That’s where GivingTuesday comes in.
GivingTuesday, this Tuesday, November 28, is a global day of giving that encourages people to donate to charitable causes and organizations. The concept behind the day is simple: give to those in need, and by donating time, money, or resources, you can contribute to making the world a better place. GivingTuesday beautifully reminds us of the importance of kindness and empathy by encouraging giving.
