We have a day for giving thanks. We have two for getting deals. Now, we have #GivingTuesday, a global day dedicated to giving back. On Tuesday, December 2, 2014, charities, families, businesses, community centers, and students around the world will come together for one common purpose: to celebrate generosity and to give.

For the full run-down on #GivingTuesday and to grab postable graphics, visit their website: http://www.givingtuesday.org/

It’s a simple idea. Just find a way for your family, your community, your company or your organization to come together to give something more. Then tell everyone you can about how you are giving. Join us and be a part of a global celebration of a new tradition of generosity.

Support HVCS at this special time of year with a donation to our emergency food and toiletry closets. Your contributions will allow us to continue to provide fresh, nutritious foods, household cleansers, and personal care items to low-income individuals living with chronic illnesses–and their families. Most of our clients live at or below the Federal poverty level, and many have trouble putting meals on table three times a day. And we all know that a healthy diet is essential to overall health!
