"Giving Tuesday" December 2nd

/ Uncategorized / By

We give thanks on Thanksgiving, hit the stores on Black Friday, shop local on Small Business Saturday, and shop the web on Cyber Monday.

Now we have a day dedicated to giving back. On #GivingTuesday (this year on December 2), non-profits, families, businesses, and students around the world come together for one common purpose: to celebrate generosity and to give.

If you are planning to make a year-end gift to your favorite Grundy County charity, we ask that you do your best to deliver that gift on Tuesday, December 2nd.  There are no special prizes if you do or penalties if you don’t.  It’s just a fun day to bookend the hectic, consumer-driven weekend with another day of thankfulness — thank your local non-profits for their great work by giving your year-end donation on December 2nd!

Then on Wednesday we’ll announce the grand amount that charities in Grundy County collected on Giving Tuesday!

The following organizations serving Grundy County are participating in this event.  If the name is in color, it is a link to their online donation website.  If their address is color, it is a map to the office so you can hand-deliver your gift.

Please give generously and don’t forget to take photos as your drop off your donation!  On behalf of the non-profit community serving Grundy County — thank you!!
