On Giving Tuesday, Buy Less Give More
Are YOU Giving Tuesday?
We’re heading into the time of year where we can feel like we’re on a conveyor belt, propelling us from one episode of mindless consumption to the next. Your antidote to Black Friday? How about Giving Tuesday?
Giving Tuesday, which takes place on December 1st, 2020, is an intentional response to the no-holds-barred, high-pressure buying spree that has become the norm on Black Friday and Cyber Monday. A global day to highlight the giving of time, effort, and money, Giving Tuesday encourages us to take some time out to reflect on what makes a caring society, to support important work happening in our communities, to celebrate worthy causes, and to share awareness and success stories through social media.
How can you get involved?
Spread the word – about London Cycle Link, the Squeaky Wheel Bike Co-op, or any community member or organization you see doing good work!
Donate – you can give personally to causes you believe in or hold an online fundraiser through social media. We accept donations :)
Become a member - Maybe you’ve been putting off renewing your LCL membership or joining in the first place. Giving Tuesday is a great time to do that!
Struggling with holiday gift ideas? Cycling enthusiasts on your gift list might enjoy an LCL membership, too! Or a t-shirt or mask!
Pledge a gift of your time – so much important work in our community is performed free of charge, by people like you! Volunteer with us!
If you’re already looking forward to Giving Tuesday, then THANK YOU for your community spirit! Visit givingtuesday.ca for more ideas about marking the global day of giving, and see how you can get involved!
