Do you know the initiative #GivingTuesday has been trending over the past few years?
Giving Tuesday is the Tuesday after Black Friday and Cyber Monday. It is a day dedicated to giving back worldwide, in Canada, and in your community.
Islanders are known to be friendly and caring people. We believe in supporting our communities and we’d give the shirt off our backs to help someone in need.
This year’s Giving Tuesday, November 29th, consider supporting local organizations that keep your monetary donations right here in our Island community. Here are four examples of ways you can give back this Giving Tuesday:
-
Volunteer at a local charity or not-for-profit organization.
-
Drop off items to a toy or food drive.
-
Pay it Forward by paying for the person behind you at the drive threw or leaving a gift card at the gas pump.
-
Use your voice to help others by re-share content posted by not-for-profit organizations online.
From donating to volunteering, to any acts of kindness, by giving back to where we dwell and excel, we can all spread some cheers, express our gratitude, and warm up the hearts of our community.
