Giving Tuesday 2023 - Our List Of Nonprofits Dedicated To Giving The Gift Of Home
Amidst all of the consumerism that we all drown in this time of year, Giving Tuesday shines through for me as a light of joy on the true meaning of the holiday season. There are countless organizations & non profits deserving of our support throughout the year but I wanted to offer up a list of our favorite nonprofits whose primary focus is giving the gift of home to so many of those who are in need.
I hope you'll consider donating to one or all of these incredible charities in our Giving Tuesday 2023 List below, learn about volunteer opportunities, or at the very least are inspired to donate to similar collectives in your own communities. You can find a list of other nonprofits near you participating in Giving Tuesday by clicking here.
Together we can create that sense of belonging, security & shelter for everyone.
