Giving Tuesday
Happy#GivingTuesday!
After days of shopping, let’s help others through the gift of your time, a donation, or the power of your voice in your local community. Giving Tuesday is a movement to create an international day of giving at the beginning of the holiday season.
Thanks @joshtikka for making this donation happen and for all your love and support, which filled the box quickly. It has been emptied and delivered to those in need. Please help spread the word.
We also made small contributions to local charity – Lulu’s Locker Rescue as suggested by Jim Glackin and Center for Ethical Science. Our team will continue to work with the community to make real changes in our world – one step at a time.
Thank you Thy Tolmich for reminding us about this special day to help others. Love our team!
