Giving Tuesday 2020: If You Can Give, Please Give

It has been a rough few weeks. And…it may be a rough few more. It may be a rough few months.

Organizations still need our help. I am going to keep this blog short, sweet, and to the point. If you are in a position to give, please consider donating to your favorite charitable organization. I always advocate as strongly for cash donations as I do for volunteering, but in the current COVID-19 climate, there are fewer volunteering opportunities.  Food pantries, domestic violence organizations, soup kitchens, etc. can still use able bodied volunteers. I encourage you (if you are in good health, not immunocompromised, have proper protective equipment, and are willing to work) to call your local organization and learn about their needs, qualifications, and restrictions.

Otherwise, please consider a monetary donation. Giving Tuesday 2020 will take place on May 5, 2020. It is a yearly event that traditionally takes place in the fall or early winter, but this year has been bumped up to May to help deal with the COVID-19 epidemic. It is a global movement.  It’s new hashtag (if you are searching on social media) is #GivingTuesdayNow
