Giving Tuesday is a global campaign focused on generosity. The international movement started in 2012 and has grown to a yearlong push for reoccurring acts of kindness. On #GivingTuesday, individuals are challenged to make a positive impact on their community through donations, volunteerism, advocacy and random acts of kindness. Whether you make your contributions public by posting on social media with the hashtag #GivingTuesday or keep them private, Dayton Habitat is challenging its community to get involved with the movement!
There are several ways you can help your local community this upcoming Giving Tuesday through Habitat for Humanity of Greater Dayton.
Donate
On Tuesday, December 3, Birchcreek Wealth Management will be matching up to $5,000 of donations received that day. That means when you donate, your donation will be DOUBLED! A $25 donation becomes a $50 donation, a $50 donation becomes a $100 donation, and so on. Those interested in donating can do so on the Winter Donation page found at https://daytonhabitat.org/fall-appeal.
Did you know that Dayton Habitat accepts in-kind donations? While most of Dayton Habitat’s labor is provided by our fantastic volunteers, we are always in need of materials and skilled labor. If you or someone you know could contribute in this way, Dayton Habitat wants to hear from you on #GivingTuesday!
