Live Here. Grow Here. Give Here. #GivingTuesday 2020

In the United States, we are overwhelmed by COVID-19 and the uncertainty the pandemic brings. Yet, God is with us as we focus on what’s important and work together to build safe and sustainable communities of hope. Seeming even to overshadow Thanksgiving, our gratitude gets diverted to spending. While a wise consumer can take advantage of valid discounts, we must be careful because the “savings” enjoyed corresponds to increased spending. This year, the amount spent on Black Friday is estimated to be around $500 per person, only to be followed by Cyber Monday that could double that amount! Being good stewards is all about ethical decision-making, but our stewardship is not just about “saving” money. It’s about “investing” our resources in meaningful endeavors and organizations, too.

In response to this excessive spending, a global movement called #GivingTuesday began in 2012 as one important day of giving back to the community and promoting awareness and opportunities to invest in charitable organizations both with our time and finances. On the first Tuesday after Thanksgiving, December 1, let’s kick-off the holiday season by giving back to our community! Because we live here, and grow here, let’s give here, too!
