5 Places to Give for Giving Tuesday

/

We figured it could not have been more fitting than to return to The Guide on Giving Tuesday. We shopped till we dropped on Black Friday and Cyber Monday, and today we give to the organizations, people, and places that mean the most to us. After the past month of tension and polarization, let's come back together, and give to those who deserve help and awareness. Below, we've rounded up five places worthy of a donation (or a purchase that helps send money or items to the right places). Tell us what you've gotten in the comments below! 

Possibly our favorite item on this list! OneHope donates 15 meals to a child in need with every bottle purchase. Time to pop some bubbly and toast to helping others! 

Catalyst, a nonprofit with a fabulous mission of breaking down barriers to career advancement for women all over the world. 

Shop The Giving Keys who support Chrysalis, a company that provides low-income and homeless individuals with the skills, experience, and self-confidence needed to secure permanent employment.

Give Back Yoga Foundation. The Great Vibes Team loves us some yoga, and even more, we love what it can do for others. This foundation seeks to make yoga (and all of the benefits like processing trauma, relief of anxiety and depression, and self-efficacy) available to everyone.

"Back on My Feet recruits members at homeless and residential facilities around the country and begins with a commitment to run three days a week in the early morning. After 30 days in the program, members with 90% attendance earn the opportunity to move into the second phase of the program called Next Steps, which provides educational support, job training programs, employment partnership referrals and housing resources. 80% of individuals who start their program move onto the Next Steps phase."

We hope you have an excellent week! Xx.
