Have you heard about Giving Tuesday?
Created in 2012, its the world’s largest generosity movement. It’s like a special giving holiday — one day of the year that encourages people to do good.
It could be as simple as making someone smile, helping an elderly neighbour with their groceries, or giving what you have to help those in need in your own community. It’s generosity of spirit intensified!
Next Tuesday, November 28, your SOS will join other charities across the country and throughout the world in a celebration of giving and gratitude — for one cannot exist without the other.
As Giving Tuesday occurs at the same time of year when SOS is busy raising funds to purchase grocery gift cards and collecting toys for our Caring for Community at Christmas program, we thought this would be a great day to offer a challenge to our community.
We are asking you to help us raise $50,000 next Tuesday to go towards our $300,000 Caring for Community at Christmas goal. Your contribution of $75, $100, $150, or whatever amount is manageable for you, will enable us to purchase grocery gift cards and emergency food vouchers for local residents. That will give families and individuals the dignity of selecting their own special holiday foods that are meaningful to them.
