At this time of year, it’s easy to get overwhelmed with shopping, long line-ups, socials and all the activity around days like Black Friday and Cyber Monday.
Introducing... Giving Tuesday, the new kid in town, the ‘day’ that is all about giving, making a positive change in your community, and putting a smile on the face of someone in need with a small action like volunteering or donating.
Baby Franklin was only 10 days old when a fire forced him and his mom Josie from their home. The Canadian Red Cross was able to help his family during this emergency.
For Giving Tuesday, we’ve made it easy for you to help families and communities in need by offering the opportunity to customize your gift and help people in Canada. Check out the stories of baby Franklin and others, and choose how you want to help people recover from house fires, provide care for seniors and promote health in your community.
As we celebrate Giving Tuesday, we're putting out a challenge to all our supporters. How will you give back today? Leave a comment or tweet us @redcrosscanada and include #GivingTuesdayCA.
