Giving Back this Giving Tuesday in Baltimore
Giving Tuesday, held on the Tuesday after Thanksgiving, which falls on Tuesday, November 29 this year, is a celebration of generosity and gratitude. Whether that means supporting someone in need, making someone’s day, or giving a helping hand, every act of generosity counts for this day! While Giving Tuesday only lands on one day of the year, you can celebrate it all year round by giving back to the local community.
Anthem House residents: If you need some help finding giving opportunities, here are some ways you can give back to the Baltimore community this Giving Tuesday and beyond:
