GivingTuesday, the Global Day of Giving Takes Place this Year on Tuesday, December 2nd.

The Children's Reading Room is planning to raise $5,000 and collect 1,000 pre-loved children's books by the end of GivingTuesday.

GivingTuesday is a global generosity movement that has been driven by individuals, charities, businesses, and communities across Canada and in countries around the world. GivingTuesday is the world’s largest generosity movement and is considered by many as the opening day of the giving season. Since 2013, GivingTuesday has united millions of Canadians to support and champion the causes they believe in and the communities in which they live.

The impact of GivingTuesday goes well beyond charitable donations, inspiring giving in all its forms. From coast to coast to coast, people are embracing this day as an opportunity to raise money for local charities and non-profits, run food and clothing drives, give blood, encourage kindness, help a neighbour, and celebrate generosity. GivingTuesday was founded in 2013 in Canada by CanadaHelps.org, GIV3 and several other founding partners. GivingTuesday now has active movements in more than 100 countries, collaborating year-round to inspire generosity around the world, with a common mission to build a world where generosity is part of everyday life.

Please consider supporting us and sharing our goals with your friends and family. We look forward to your support this coming GivingTuesday.
