Help us Carry our Mission Forward

by misstakenid, posted in Uncategorized

Giving is not just one day for us. It is our lifestyle.

At the Misstakenid Gives Back Foundation, we spend the entire year pouring love into our community. This year we not only fed our local neighbors we even made an impact globally and were able to support a project to feed youth in the Philippines. We also completed another round of our Success Looks Different Fireside Chat- Workshop skill development series for a local homeless shelter, continued our support of Seniors and Veterans with our annual cookout, and created or assisted with meaningful service projects that remind people that compassion is always in season.

Every project that we complete is powered by people who believe in service and want to make an impact that lasts beyond a moment. Your generosity helps us provide meals, build supply kits, support families, and continue creating experiences that uplift our communities in Durham, Roxboro, and beyond.

Giving is who we are. And we are just getting started.

The Importance of Giving Tuesday for Your Community

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.

Join Us in Giving Back

This Giving Tuesday, I’m asking for your help. Whether you can give a little or a lot, every contribution brings us one step closer to our goal of serving those who need it most. Let’s come together to give back, uplift our neighbors, and make this holiday season a little brighter for everyone.
