Giving Tuesday
Tuesday, November 28th is Giving Tuesday! Generosity is uplifting, generative, equalizing, and connecting. We believe that each and every act of generosity is a worthy act in and of itself. Giving Tuesday reimagines a world built upon shared humanity and generosity.
Whether it’s making someone smile, helping a neighbor or stranger out, showing up for an issue or people we care about, or giving some of what we have to those who need our help, every act of generosity counts, and everyone has something to give.
Make a pledge to Partners in Giving on Tuesday, November 28th, and Jeff Novak will donate $1 for each Housing employee who makes a pledge on Giving Tuesday. Ex: If 160 people donate, Jeff will donate $160 to Partners in Giving!
