Tue 12/2
The Tuesday after Thanksgiving is known as #GivingTuesday, a day to give basic items to people in need. Shampoo, diapers, soap, bath tissue… these are items everyone has right? Not so much. Many families are struggling to afford even the basics.
So how do you help? United Way of Greater Cleveland is making it easy. You don’t even have to go to the store. Simply go online and donate $10, $25, $50 to help your neighbors in need. A $10 donation has the purchasing power to buy 12 bottles of shampoo. A donation of $25 can buy four moms each a 48-count pack of diapers or $50 can be multiplied to buy 192 rolls of bath tissue.
“#GivingTuesday, the first Tuesday after Thanksgiving, Black Friday and Cyber Monday is dedicated to philanthropy and improving communities across the globe,” said United Way Executive Vice President and Chief Strategy Officer Jason Daniels.
“This #GivingTuesday, we have a unique opportunity to #GiveTheBasics.”
The items will be distributed to the community in partnership with the Greater Cleveland Food Bank and the Hunger Network of Greater Cleveland. Go on and help out.
