Wish and Give | Blog

Since its inception in 2013, GivingTuesday has offered charities a strong start to the holiday giving season – but the generosity has only just begun! Many campaigns launched on November 28th and will run for the rest of the month, so let’s keep on giving Canada!

The world has seen a particularly challenging year in 2017, from natural disasters to divisive global events. One way to reunite is by celebrating our shared values: empathy for the challenges of others and our desire to help those in need. Millions of simple acts of giving, all added together, amount to real impact.

 

With 43 communities leading organized local movements from coast to coast, grassroots giving involving schools, businesses, charities, and everyday Canadians, is at an all-time high. To celebrate, mayors and provincial premiers from across the country proclaimed November 28th as GivingTuesday in their jurisdictions. Within each community, acts of kindness and giving were performed, including hugs for charity, blood donations, food and toy drives and much, much more.
