*************************
Save The Date for #GivingTuesdayNow, a new global day to celebrate unity and share positivity throughout our local communities. 

On May 5, 2020, GuelphGives will be sharing local stories of community building and strength.

Guelph Gives is part of the larger Giving Tuesday movement - a day that is usually dedicated to kicking-off the giving season in December. 

Although, this year there will be an additional day to celebrate all the forms of giving and positive impact we are seeing throughout this pandemic in Guelph and the surrounding areas.

“We have seen various acts of generosity, as well as many people going above and beyond to take care of their neighbours, friends and family. Even throughout this time, Guelph is one of the most caring communities and the GuelphGives committee felt it is a great time to share the beautiful acts of kindness that are happening every single day.” Says Emma Rogers, CEO of Children’s Foundation Guelph Wellington and GuelphGives Chair. “The more we see the compassion that is happening, the more I know we will come out of this a stronger community.”

On May 5 we want to celebrate all forms of giving and acts of kindness, as we work together to build a better community.  

To help us celebrate we encourage you to send your own story to [email protected] to be highlighted on GuelphGives social media pages throughout the day on May 5.

There are many ways you can celebrate GivingTuesdayNow: 

  • Share your own positive/giving story
  • Send someone you care about a positive message letting them know you’re thinking of them
  • Check-in on your favourite charity
