GivingTuesday was created in 2012 as a simple idea: a day that encourages people to do good. Over the past nine years, this idea has grown into a global movement that inspires hundreds of millions of people to give, collaborate, and celebrate generosity year-round.

 

People can show their generosity in a variety of ways during GivingTuesday. Whether it’s helping a neighbor, advocating for an issue, sharing a skill, or finding volunteer opportunities with their favorite causes—everyone has something to give and every act of generosity counts.

 

Through grassroots giving and collective action, we can continue to show up for the causes we believe in. Throughout the year, we have seen extraordinary grassroots efforts to help frontline workers, reach out to those disproportionately affected by the pandemic and economic crisis, coalesce support and activism for racial injustice and systemic inequity, mobilize civic participation, and continue to drive giving and action for causes and communities worldwide.

 

Thanks to the support of our community, AAP – Food Samaritans has continued – without interruption – to provide nutritional support to those who need it the most through our monthly Food Voucher Program.

 

Thanks also to the Agua Caliente Band of Cahuilla Indians, which provided turkeys for all of our clients last week. It's this kind of community spirit that makes such a difference.
