About four
years ago, my mom told me that for Christmas she wanted me to either volunteer
somewhere or give to charity in her name.
She dropped this bomb on me in November.
No problem. Not really. The charity could not be one of the big
ones. In other words, “Don’t just throw
money at a charity and call it good.”
With
“Giving Tuesday” less than twenty four hours from now, you might be panicking
like I did four years ago. Take a deep
breath and know that the people at “Giving Tuesday” have made it easy. Just go to their website at http://givingtuesday.org and click on the
“Partners” button. Then scroll down to
the “All Partners” area and select your state and click the “sort” button. Then find a cause that fits you.
I think you will be surprised to
find organizations that you have never heard of. I know I have. Take some time out tonight and browse the
site. I’m sure you will find something
that you can believe in. Good Luck and I
hope to hear about your stories of doing a good deed on “Giving Tuesday.”
Your stories are welcome at the “Giving
Tuesday” site as well as my email box: sowaseednow@gmail.com.
