On Tuesday, November 29th, people around the world will be participating in charitable activities marking the first day of the giving season. This day is known as GivingTuesday. It is a global day of giving that happens each year after Black Friday and Cyber Monday. It’s a day when individuals, charities and businesses join together to celebrate giving and participate in activities that support local charities and non-profits.
The United Way of Bruce Grey is a GivingTuesday partner and will be marking the day with a “Brown Bag Challenge”. You are being asked to take up the challenge to help the most vulnerable members of our community.
