GivingTuesday is a global generosity movement unleashing the power of people and organizations to transform their communities and the world on December 3, 2019 and every day. It was created in 2012 as a simple idea: a day that encourages people to do good. Ways you can do good this year in our community is to give to our ongoing homeless outreach and the care for the marginalized and education for the kids in our community. Please consider giving generously here!
