As we approach another season of gratitude, it's a reminder that each act of kindness can make a meaningful difference, no matter how small. Since its inception in 2012, GivingTuesday has grown into a worldwide movement, inspiring millions to contribute time, resources, and compassion to strengthen our communities.
Celebrated on the Tuesday following Thanksgiving, GivingTuesday is a global call to action, but its spirit doesn't need to be limited to one day a year. At The Center, we aim to give back year-round through our Charitable Committee, which leads our mission to support three key areas: Financial Literacy, Community Needs in Metro Detroit, and Staff Involvement.
In 2023, our team contributed over 120 hours of volunteer time and raised $16,500, enhancing lives in our community and beyond. From donation drives to hands-on support, we're dedicated to building a brighter future. To further encourage giving, The Center offers eligible employees up to two paid days per year for community volunteer work and matches employee charitable donations up to $100 annually.
For those looking to join this movement, visit GivingTuesday.org/participate to discover ways to give back through time, donations, or simply using your voice to uplift those around you. Together, we can create a ripple of kindness every day.
