Giving Tuesday 2016

Tomorrow is Giving Tuesday.. Iencourage you to put a few dollars toward a cause that needs support. If you can’t donate money, donate time. Volunteer. Take a minute to talk about it. Spread the word. Raise awareness. There are countless charities, groups, foundations, and causes in this world, this country, this state, and even our little city that need your attention. Here are a few I’m looking at:
UNHCR via Amanda Palmer 
Visit the Dresden Dolls singer’s webstore to order a personalized holiday card signed by Amanda and husband Neil Gaiman. All proceeds go to the UNHCR – The UN Refugee Agency.
Planned Parenthood
Planned Parenthood facilities across the nation provide education and health care services to women. These doors need to stay open.
OVEC is looking to raise a mere $424 on Giving Tuesday to help fund a Gardening & Healthy Eating program they help run at the Huntington Boys & Girls Club. You can donate via PayPal (link in article above) or check, or follow this link: https://donation.towercare.com/ovec-donation.
This is by no means a comprehensive list. There are so, so many more worthy causes and ways to make a difference. Comment and tell me how you’re giving back this Giving Tuesday.
