After a weekend of deals, Giving Tuesday promotes being #unselfie

Nov 24, 2015

We have a day for giving thanks. We have two for getting deals. Now we have Giving Tuesday, a global day dedicated to giving back. Charities, families, businesses, community centers, and students around the world will come together for one common purpose: to celebrate generosity and to give.

The fourth-annual event will be held nationwide next Tuesday, Dec. 1, providing people across the country with a chance to give back, together.

Want to join in too? It’s easy! Here’s how.

Give Christmas Away

This Giving Tuesday, we’re asking you to Give Christmas Away. What’s that mean? It means acknowledging that you have everything you need, but that there are so many people in our community who don’t – and then partnering with us to do something about it.

Together, we can Give Christmas Away to individuals and families who often go without in the form of holiday meals, toys and basic necessities. Everyone deserves to feel loved at Christmas. Let’s join together and put our love for others into action today. Here’s two ways to take part:

  1. Donate to make Christmas possible – When you donate online to the Give Christmas Away fund right now, The Salvation Army can use that money to give Christmas to someone in need. Learn more.
  2. Replace your own wish list – You can replace your holiday wish list this year with an invitation for friends and family to help another through Salvation Army programs. Simply sign up to become a fundraiser and share your page with others as a gift replacement option.

Get #Unselfie

Through the power of social media, Giving Tuesday has the potential to inspire generosity from around the world to bring about real change in their communities. Next Tuesday, join us on social media by following the hashtag #GivingTuesday. Take it one step further and share an #Unselfie showing how you are making a difference in your community for the better.
