Today is Giving Tuesday! Yes, it is a made up day but is one that has a good message behind it. The idea is based on the fact that for days after the U.S. celebrates Thanksgiving, the idea in most people’s minds is to SHOP, SHOP, and SHOP some more. But what about helping others? That’s where this day came in … its a day to help others. A lot of people are hurting right now and so if you have a favourite charity or cause please consider reaching out to them today.
Here are three organizations I will be looking at today:
Ontario School Safety -

(Disclaimer - Yes I do volunteer with this group and it is fully made up of volunteers who want to have safe indoor air quality in both schools and school buses across the province. Check out the website for more information.)
Haven On The Queensway

Women’s Habitat
