Give
December 2, 2025, is Giving Tuesday, a day of global giving. Generosity gives everyone the power to make a positive change in the lives of others, whether it’s helping a neighbor, advocating for an issue, sharing a skill, or giving to causes. Everyone has something to give, and every act of kindness makes a positive difference in our communities.
