Giving Tuesday is an international holiday but also a movement that was initiated in the United States by the 92nd Street YMCA and the United Nations Foundation as a response to counter rampant commercialization and consumerism in the post-Thanksgiving season (Black Friday and Cyber Monday).
Gifts are thoughtful and to be appreciated, but sometimes more than what recipients need or even want. Some go to waste and are quickly forgotten while others last longer, like: recipes, perennial flowers, fruit of the month clubs and gift cards. These are gifts that seem to keep giving back to the recipients long after they are given.
Yet, there are other types of gifts that keep giving back to the recipients and to the world. Whether on giving Tuesday or on others days during this holiday season, choose one or more options below to provide relief and empowerment to children and elders. <3 <3 <3
