Giving Tuesday Offers Many Ways To Help Support Nonprofits

Giving Tuesday is a global campaign that encourages people to be generous & give back any way they can, be it by donations, volunteering, or other acts of kindness. It occurs on the Tuesday after Thanksgiving, and serves as a counterpoint to consumer-focused events like Black Friday and Cyber Monday. This year, Giving Tuesday is December 2. Across the country, a growing number of parents, children, and seniors are facing serious hardships. Please be generous & support nonprofit organizations that help counter those issues.

Assistance League of Northern Virginia (ALNV) will participate in that campaign and it is counting on your generosity to continue serving those who are struggling every day. Assistance League’s primary focus is elementary school students and it takes a holistic approach to ensure they have the essentials they need to feel confident in school and to build successful lives after graduation. ALNV delivers basics such as food, clothing, books, literacy support, and hygiene kits to help provide confidence.

Families everywhere are facing significant economic hardship, even in affluent Northern Virginia. Poverty and food insecurity affect more families every month. ALNV’s goals are lofty but the reality is stark. The number of students who need help continues to rise, as does the cost of delivering those essentials to them. That’s why ALNV asks you to be as generous as you can this year. Another impactful way you can help is by pledging a donation for donor matching. That way, your generosity will encourage others to donate too and double your impact.

ALNV’s Giving Tuesday campaign opens on Tuesday, November 19, and ends on December 2. Please contact ResDev@ALNV.org if you are interested in being a donor match.
