Each year on the Tuesday after Thanksgiving people from all over commemorate Giving Tuesday, a day founded in 2012 by the United Nations and NYC’s 92nd Street Y that aimed to encourage giving to various causes and charitable organizations.
If you’re in the giving spirit and want to act on it, we’ve gathered a few ways to give back to Raleigh today.
- Give back to women and girls in the Triangle by donating hygiene items to the No Woman, No Girl Initiative.
- Donate blood to The Blood Connection and save up to three lives with just one donation.
- Pick up a shift at A Place at the Table, a pay-what-you-can community cafe.
- Sign up to help homeless animals at the SPCA of Wake County feel loved by becoming a dog walker, assisting with grooming, and other tasks.
