Today is Giving Tuesday. It happens each year on the Tuesday right after Thanksgiving, which is today. Many organizations rely on this day for a huge chunk of their income, so we're talking big time giving here folks. I know that money doesn't grow on trees, but there are so many worthy charities out their that can use a hand, and I hope that some of you can oblige.
We have a wonderful sense of gratitude each year on Thanksgiving Day and then we turn to corporate greed on Black Friday and Cyber Monday. Supposedly we are buying gifts for others, but how many of us really are and how many of us are spending money we cannot even afford? Besides money though, we can give of our time and we can share the information with others.
You would be amazed how much good you can do! It doesn't have to be huge amounts either because your donations are added to those of others and together the collection can be quite impressive. Not sure who is most deserving? Check out the Giving Tuesday website at https://www.givingtuesday.org/ and see the many ways you can get involved.
Don't think you cannot afford to participate. Giving Tuesday is not for rich people, it is for all people. As I said, there are a lot of ways to participate and donating money does not have to mean donating large sums. The important thing is involvement. Join me, won't you?
