Today is Giving Tuesday.
This day is a global generosity movement, unleashing the power of people and organizations to transform their communities. It takes place each year on the Tuesday following Black Friday and Cyber Monday, offering a chance to give back during the holiday season.
There are a number of local charities who are hosting special Giving Tuesday campaigns, including the Lennox and Addington County General Hospital Foundation.
The Foundations Amanda Chalk says you can support their Giving Tuesday campaign by visiting lacghfoundation.com/givingtuesday.
Another way you can support the community this Giving Tuesday is by sponsoring a meal during the Morningstar Missions Christmas Day meal. Executive Director Kevin Alkenbrack says they’re asking the community to donate $5 per meal.
You can learn more and make a donation towards this meal at CanadaHelps.org.
Another organization taking part in Giving Tuesday is the Community Foundation for Lennox & Addington.
CFFLA Executive Director Bob Baker says they support every type of charity in L&A. You can learn more about these charities and make a donation by visiting CFFLA.ca.
