Celebrate #GivingTuesday to Kick Off the Holidays

Thanksgiving, Friendsgiving, Christmas… the word “giving” is in their names or at its core implied. Now comes #GivingTuesday; a day that highlights the season of giving.

The idea of #GivingTuesday is not only to bring attention to giving and highlight worthy causes, it’s also about recognizing the power that community can bring to problem solving. It’s not only raising money, it’s volunteering and pushing our politicians to stop with the lip service. It’s about doing what’s needed.

If you’ve been thinking about giving, but haven’t figured out who you’d like to donate to, here are a few organizations we’d like to suggest:

San Francisco & Northern California

North Valley Community Foundation Camp Fire Relief

SF-Marin Food Bank

Glide Memorial

SF LGBT Center

Somos Familia

Green Film Fest

Nine Lives Foundation

Jameson Animal Rescue Ranch

The Marine Mammal Center

The Nature Conservancy
