Have you heard of Giving Tuesday? It takes place each year on the Tuesday following Black Friday to encourage people to do good. It began in 2012 and has grown around the world with movements in more than 80 countries, working year-round to inspire generosity and create a world where giving is part of everyday life. Remember, small things add up to big changes in the end! At Kindred, we encourage our staff, members, and community partners to consider how they might participate in Giving Tuesday.
