December 1 is Giving Tuesday

#GivingTuesday, now in its fourth year, is observed on the Tuesday following Thanksgiving, Black Friday and Cyber Monday. #GivingTuesday is a global day of giving fueled by the power of social media and collaboration. Created by 92nd Street Y (92y.org), a cultural center in New York City, #GivingTuesday connects diverse groups of individuals, communities and organizations around the world for one common purpose: to celebrate and encourage giving.

Here are some simple things you can do this Giving Tuesday:

Volunteer! While you and your family are enjoying your holiday meals, just think about others who don’t have the same luxury. Dedicate some time to help those in need. Invite family and friends to spread goodwill.

Host a food pantry drive. Ask your friends, family and holiday visitors to bring at least one food item when they come to your house.

Donate winter clothing and blankets. If you’ve got extra blankets or winter coats, don’t let them pile up in the closet. SouthPointe Pavilions is hosting a coat drive for Matt Talbot, or bring your donations directly to our facility at 2121 North 27th Street, Monday-Friday between 8:30 am - 6:30 pm. If you have time, we'd love to give you a tour!

Make a cash donation. Holiday and year-end giving keeps our doors open 365 days a year!
