‘Tis the Season of Giving: The 2019 Holiday Giving Guide

December 3, 2019
1Shares

Black Friday and Cyber Monday are two big days of the holiday season. But, hold up! We can’t forget another important day that does more than empty our pockets and fills our homes, office, or personal space. It also fills the hearts and minds of people and communities around the globe.

As we celebrate the thanks for our family, friends, and loved ones, let’s give back today on #GivingTuesday.

Giving Tuesday started in 2012, which is an initiative meant to “encourage people to do good” the Tuesday after Thanksgiving.

If you’re feeling charitable, empowered, and willing to assist, you can look up what’s happening near you to get involved. Yet, I’ve taken the liberty to compile a list of organizations and companies that are doing their thing in the world.

I’m impressed by their generosity, mission, and focus on communities that are often overlooked or forgotten during the holidays.

Here’s the 2019 Holiday Giving Guide.


Health and Wellness

Gold Ribbon
GirlTrek Member - Holiday Giving Guide

The organization and movement aspiring to mobilize 1 million Black Women to walk by the year 2020. Founders, Vanessa Garrison, and T.

This season, we have to do more than think about all of the presents and money we’ll receive. How about taking an extra second to think about the environment in which we live?
