According to GivingTuesday.org, the day is a “worldwide celebration of generosity” and a time where people can work together through “acts of kindness and giving their voice, time, money, goods, and advocacy.”

So what are ways you can help?

You can just be kind to neighbors, share your talents, or speak out on initiatives that matter to you.
