This campaign was started in 2012 and frankly, amidst all the hype about spending money and shopping this one stands out for it's sheer audacity to be about generosity, kindness and sharing.
Heaven knows there is some real need this holiday season. Our fellow Americans in Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands are still without power and reliable clean drinking water. There is need far and wide. You can look in your community or you can go global. Humane societies, conservation movements, homeless kids, women's shelters, famines, suppression and sadly another genocide happening in Myanmar. The point is, it is easy to give a little or a lot this Tuesday to any cause you feel near and dear and all of them worthy. It'll make you feel good!

I skipped Black Friday and Cyber Monday...a donation was made to the Foxfire Foundation to their matching grant funded by the Gates Foundation. The Foxfire folks continue to do great work preserving Appalachian culture.
Thanks for the reminder. Also a good time to consider use of time to donate to the community. :-)
You are always right on with your generosity - of time, spirit, and money.
Hope your Thanksgiving holiday was wonderful.
This is one campaign I can get behind 100%. We can make such a difference if enough of us even give just a little - money, time, kindness. It doesn't matter.
I only heard about it this year. I agree. It is the best of the Thanksgiving/Black Friday special days.
