I have already given to a nonprofit that a friend works for. I gave $20 cash to a local street vendor who sells Street Roots here in Portland and Oregon. I will continue to clear leaves off the streets and sidewalks in my very walkable neighborhood for those who bike, walk and drive. I also hope to practice spontaneous acts of kindness as the opportunities present themselves in my neighborhood, and there are many opportunities.

I joined the Sterling Heights Lions Club three years ago. Since that time I’ve learned how much they give to not only the main cause of helping the blind and the deaf community but also the local surrounding and global communities as well. Families in the area and abroad that just need a helping hand whether for a temporary problem or a life long need. The Lions Club is one of a few charities that is all volunteers from the International President to the general member. With 1.3 members in 205 countries and regions Lions Motto of “We Serve” really does mean what it says.

Giving is in my heart, it’s a genetic thing. It makes me feel so good to be kind and generous to someone. Why not do it everyday!

I plan to do and donate to a #GivingTuesday fundraiser for Friends Fur Life Rescue! I’ve volunteered and fostered for Friends Fur Life Rescue since early 2014 and never cease to be amazed at how far above and beyond this rescue will go for the dogs and cats in their care! Friends Fur Life Rescue never shies away from difficult cases, whether it be medical or socialization. The transformations I regularly see in the dogs and cats they take in is heartwarming! Not only do they take in those who are at-risk in local shelters, but they also help people in the local community who are struggling to care for their animals by providing food and other assistance.

In our 5th year at the Clifton Arms in Blackburn, UK, we make up hampers with donations from the community and also buy flowers and chocolates to distribute to community members who have been ill, lost a love one, is in need … or we distribute these just to raise a smile — that makes it all worthwhile.

This year, my brother and his wife are expecting a baby girl! I plan to donate to causes that will protect her civil liberties, provide justice for all, aid the disenfranchised and vulnerable, and protect her reproductive choices. That’s why I am donating to the ACLU, Southern Poverty Law Center, the International Rescue Committee, and Planned Parenthood.

On Friday 15th December my friends and I will be spending 6 hours overnight hunting for ghosts in the very haunted Newsham Park (former) Orphanage, Asylum, and Hospital here in Liverpool, England. We are asking our friends and families for sponsorships for our participation in this terrifyingly spooky location so that we don’t chicken-out, and so that we can raise money for charities which are close to our hearts. Having lost my mum when I was just 8 years old I know how vitally important it is for grieving children to be emotionally supported through their pain and isolation, and that is why I’ll be giving my ghost hunting Sponsorships to Child Bereavement UK so that they can continue to support bereaved children through the worst times of their lives. It would be amazing if Facebook matched any kind donations which are made to me on Giving Tuesday.

I am planning to make personal donations to my college alma mater and Puerto Rico relief efforts. Additionally, I am going to "adopt" an elephant for my nieces and nephews — it is via an organization that fights their poaching and extinction. There is so much excess at this time of year … instead of another needless toy or present, I want to be the auntie that inspires them to become young activists! #GivingTuesday!

I have already started this few years back and still continue to give back to the community.

I feel great doing this.

Every Tuesday after work is the day I volunteer walk a wonderful dog named “Remy.” Through a great organization called PawsNY.org, which pairs volunteers with pet owners who due to age or illness are having difficulty caring for their pets, I have gotten to know Remy and become friends with his owner, and it has been a wonderful and rewarding experience helping animals and people at the same time. It makes me feel great to do this every Tuesday — and the fact that I’ll be walking and spending time with Remy on #GivingTuesday makes it all the more special.

On Tuesday evenings, I serve as a volunteer guide at group runs with the NYC Chapter of Achilles International. This organization provides opportunities for athletes with disabilities to participate in mainstream athletics, including running. As a runner, I recognize the sense fulfillment and achievement that comes from regular exercise and I enjoy sharing these feelings with people who might not otherwise get to experience the joys of running. I’m excited to spend part of this #GivingTuesday with my friends at Achilles — enjoying great company and a great workout with a wonderful organization!

For the past few years, I have volunteered as a reading buddy with the Early Morning Readers program at a local elementary school. The program is geared toward helping elementary school students who need additional practice reading in English. I work with the same group of students each week, assisting as they read aloud, but more importantly, inspiring them to get excited about reading. Watching these students grow as readers and as individuals from year to year has been such a rewarding experience. Although I will not be reading with them on #GivingTuesday, I’ll think of them and the fun we’ll have at our weekly Thursday morning session.

I’m excited to be spending my second #GivingTuesday at 92Y, the home of #GivingTuesday! 92Y is the most exciting place to be on #GivingTuesday as there is so much going that day — from seniors singing to students dancing to teens playing guitar. This year, I will be helping to promote our #GivingTuesday pledge both leading up and on the day, and I can’t wait to see how others plan to give back!

As a mother of three, I try to teach my children each day how fortunate they are. This year, I’m using #GivingTuesday as an opportunity to teach them how to give back to those who are less fortunate by donating things we no longer use. We’re sorting through clothes, toys, and other items to donate to our local shelter, which houses victims of domestic abuse and their children. I want my children to understand from a young age the importance of giving back to their community and helping those in need. #GivingTuesday provides a great chance to teach them that lesson, which will hopefully stick with them for life.

Every year, I use #GivingTuesday as a day to support and champion the organizations I believe in, including New York Cares, Partners in Health, and Doctors Without Borders. I start the day by making a contribution to each organization — even a small donation can going a long way. Throughout the day, I find opportunities to tell people about these organizations, their outstanding missions, and how they can get involved.

On #GivingTuesday, my entire company supports the local community by volunteering through Volunteer New York. In the past, we have spent the day working at soup kitchens, animal shelters, and food banks. This year, we will be volunteering at a senior center to provide entertainment and care for elderly residents. I enjoy #GivingTuesday each year because it provides a chance to give back to the community I love and an opportunity for my colleagues and I to build bonds through doing good. Kudos to my company for using this day as a celebration of giving back — I encourage other companies to do the same!

I had my son six months ago, and I found out last week that my coworker is also having her first baby in 2018. Planning for a baby is pretty daunting and my coworker doesn't have two sisters with kids like I do. So I'm going to offer everything I have: baby stuff, books, advice, time. I'm doing this because I love my coworker but also in tribute to the many people who helped welcome my son to the world.
