#GivingTuesday

giving-tuesday-2014 Imagine a day dedicated to giving back … around the world, across Canada and in your own community! Just as Black Friday kicks off the holiday shopping season, GivingTuesday is the opening day of the giving season.

GivingTuesday is a global day of giving. After the sales of Black Friday and Cyber Monday,GivingTuesday is a time to celebrate and encourage activities that support charities and non profits. Whether it’s making a donation, volunteering time, helping a neighbour or spreading the word, GivingTuesday is a movement for everyone who wants to give something back.

Tuesday December 2nd is the day set aside for #GivingTuesdayCa in Canada. On Tuesday, we’d like to challenge you to give to our shared mission. As 450+ churches in Atlantic Canada, what we do together fuels mission here and around the world. Everything cent of every dollar given for ministry and mission goes to ministry and mission. Everything we do together Impacts Leaders, Infuses Culture and Ignites Mission locally in our churches, regionally in the CABC, and globally.
