December 1, 2020 is Giving Tuesday, the Tuesday after US Thanksgiving. #GivingTuesday is a global movement that unleashes the power of people and organizations to transform their communities and the world.

As you go through your day and the coming weeks closing out what has been, for many, the most challenging year in their history, please consider how you can give back to your community. The gift of your time and services has immeasurable value! Approach organizations with mandates that resonate and offer your services and knowledge. Donate funds and goods if you are able - one of AWSN's member programs, Praxis, is running a Giving Tuesday fundraising campaign. Follow meaningful-to-you organizations on social media and share and interact with their posts and stories. Subscribe to newsletters. 

Even the smallest action is appreciated by those who are on the receiving end of your generosity.
