Good Morning,
Today is Tuesday, November 30.
⚓️ Today is Giving Tuesday, an opportunity for people around the world to come together through generosity in all its forms by sharing acts of kindness and giving their voice, time, money, goods, and advocacy to support communities and causes.
Many nonprofit organizations will have Giving Tuesday campaigns today - some will be looking to make matching gift goals, while almost all will be seeking donations to support the critical mission that they serve in our communities. We have such amazing nonprofit organizations in our area, today we encourage you to support the one(s) you can in the best way you can - time, talent, or monetarily.
