I was listening to an NPR Life Kit tonight about Giving Tuesday - they were trying to help people figure out how to make charitable gifts. 1) Think about things you care about. 2) Write down a list of organizations that are working to make that happen, and 3) Make a budget. (And make a donation!) It's not bad advice. It's a little dry and passionless for my taste - but in some ways, I hope you do this today/Tuesday. I hope you think about what you want your community to look like for *everyone* and think about your budget and give what you can give. Today/Tuesday is a great day to do it because a lot of non-profits are hoping you will, but really any day is a good day to give. I've worked at WayForward Resources for 23 years come January. It's a good organization that is very responsibly operated and managed, with the best of the people you've ever known working and volunteering and teaming together to create that better world. Follow along with our GivingTuesday Block Party all day long. If nothing else, please share a post or two. Give a few (or more) dollars if you can. Make the world better for someone today. As one of the equally busiest food pantries in our community, and one of the only organizations in Dane County providing housing case management, eviction prevention funds, and a doubled-up housing program, your donation during this will increase our impact, helping us provide food, housing, and hope to our community. #buildtogether

💡 From Pop Tabs to Soup Cans: Small Actions, Big Impact! 💡 Did you know that saving aluminum pop tabs—and even the tabs from soup cans—has been a beloved way to support Ronald McDonald House Charities for decades? This simple idea started years ago and has grown into a powerful tradition of community giving. How does it work? Those little tabs are made of high-quality aluminum, which we collect and recycle. The funds raised help provide a home-away-from-home for families with hospitalized children, ensuring they can stay close during critical times. Why it matters: ♻️️ Tabs are small but mighty—they’re easy to collect and store! ♻️️ It’s a fun and meaningful way to engage your family, workplace, or school. ♻️ Every tab adds up to provide comfort and care for families when they need it most. Ready to get started? Find a container or ask me for one of our RMHC little collection houses! These handy containers make it easy to gather tabs and turn them into meaningful support. From soda cans to soup cans, every tab makes a difference. Together, we’re keeping a long-standing tradition alive and creating extraordinary impact. #RMHCDayton #PopTabs #SoupCans #CollectionHouse #SmallActionsBigImpact #CommunityLove

Since 2012, the Tuesday after Thanksgiving has been recognized as Giving Tuesday—a day to pause and reflect on the importance of giving back. After the holiday spending rush, it’s a chance to remember local nonprofits' critical role as the safety net for our most vulnerable neighbors. Having worked in the nonprofit world since 1990, I’ve seen firsthand how vital end-of-year giving is. This time of year brings colder weather, darker days, and higher costs for food and other essentials. It’s also a season when many in our community need a hand-up, and nonprofits meet those needs. If you can help in any way, please do. Whether donating clothing, hand warmers, gloves, stocking caps, or even a little cash—every contribution makes a difference. Pennies add up to dollars, and those dollars change lives. This Giving Tuesday, TODAY, let’s unite to support the organizations that work tirelessly to care for our community. Your generosity matters more than ever. #GivingTuesday #SupportLocalNonprofits #CommunityCare #MakeADifference #EndOfYearGiving #GiveBack #NeighborsHelpingNeighbors #NonprofitSupport #EveryPennyCounts #SpreadKindness
