Giving Tuesday Is Today: 5 Ways To Give Back

Remember last Thursday? As a nation, we collectively gathered, sat down, feasted together, and celebrated in gratitude for all that we have, be it family, friends, loved ones, a warm home, a good job, our health. And then we continued onto Black Friday and Cyber Monday, their "must have" sales giving us more to celebrate (and have---let's face it).

Now, it's Tuesday...Giving Tuesday, that is. Making its debut thanks to an initiative by New York's 92nd Street YMCA, Giving Tuesday seeks to start a holiday tradition that brings us back to the roots of the season: giving, compassion, appreciation, and unity. Meant to empower not just those who would be on the receiving end of Giving Tuesday, this particular day, which kicks off giving all season long, is also meant to empower those of us who want to be of help to others in any way we can, no matter how small the gesture.
