The Power of Giving: Why Giving Tuesday Matters
As we approach the holiday season, we often reflect on the blessings in our lives—family, warmth, and the gift of community. But for many, the holidays are a reminder of what’s missing: a safe place to call home, a hot meal, or even basic necessities. That’s why Giving Tuesday is so important.
What is Giving Tuesday?
You’ve probably heard of Black Friday and Cyber Monday—days focused on shopping and deals. But Giving Tuesday, the Tuesday after Thanksgiving, is a global movement to encourage generosity. It’s a day where people all over the world unite to support causes that matter to them. Giving Tuesday reminds us that the season isn’t just about what we receive, but how we can give back.
Why Giving Matters to Misstakenid Gives Back Foundation
At the Misstakenid Gives Back Foundation, our mission is to serve those who are often overlooked—our unhoused neighbors, seniors, and veterans. Through our community service projects, like our annual hunger relief initiative and care package distributions, we’re committed to ensuring no one feels forgotten, especially during the holidays.
This work is more than just giving meals or handing out supplies. It’s about restoring dignity, providing hope, and showing compassion. Every hot meal we serve, every sandwich we make, every toiletry bag we give, and every connection we build is a step toward uplifting our community.
How You Can Make a Difference
Giving Tuesday is the perfect opportunity to help us continue this work. Your donation, no matter the size, directly impacts those in need:
$10 can provide a warm meal for someone who hasn’t had one in days.
$25 can supply a care package filled with essentials like toiletries and food for a senior or veteran.
$50 can help fund our hunger relief projects, ensuring that hundreds of people receive meals this winter and beyond.
When you give to the Misstakenid Gives Back Foundation, you’re not just donating—you’re joining a movement to create positive change in our community. Together, we can make a difference this Giving Tuesday.
