Founding partner American Red Cross invites Americans to celebrate giving today
Darke County, OH— The American Red Cross and countless other charities are inviting Americans to take part today in #GivingTuesday, an online call to action to celebrate giving this holiday season. Charities, individuals, retailers, online organizations and others are joining together in a substantial effort help make giving back easier.The Red Cross will celebrate #GivingTuesday by partnering with donors, social media communities, and the public to encourage everyone to Give Something that Means Something. It is asking people to make a financial contribution, volunteer or to give blood.
“As the holidays ramp up, it’s easy to overlook those who need our help as we focus on ourselves and our loved ones. #GivingTuesday allows us to pause during this hectic time and focus on giving in a meaningful way,” Lynne Gump, Executive Director, Darke County Chapter. Additionally, this Saturday, Dec 6th, at our Give Something that Means Something Open House, we are accepting donations not only for ourselves, but Toys for Tots, Food for Fish, Mittens & Hats, Bottled Water (shrink wrapped ind. Cases) or you can learn Citizen CPR. We’re also gathering signatures for our Holiday Cards for Military Hero’s. We’ll be open from 9:00-1:00 and would love people to stop by 130 Martz Street, take a break from the hustle and bustle, enjoy a cuppa and learn more the American Red Cross Mission and how you can join.
People can use the hashtag #GivingTuesday to follow the conversation on Twitter and Facebook.
