Giving Tuesday: Let's Come Together

November 1, 2018 • General News

Did you know there's a global day dedicated to giving back?  It's called Giving Tuesday and it's celebrated the Tuesday after Thanksgiving. On this day, families, businesses, students and communities around the world come together for one common purpose: to celebrate generosity and to give.

How we're giving: Each of our six departments chose a charity that's close to their hearts. Each department will be collecting money and supplies for each of these charities from Nov. 1st - 26th.

We invite you to join us!

We'll have boxes labeled for each non-profit in the lobby of our Main Branch for drop-off donations. These will be delivered on Giving Tuesday.
