#GivingTuesday {Cleveland edition}

Today is #GivingTuesday – a day where “charities, families, businesses, community centers, and students around the world come together for one common purpose: to celebrate generosity and to give.” (from their website)

In the spirit of the day (and as a former non-profit staffer), taking a moment to mention those local non-profits I’ve worked with in the past year seemed appropriate. I’m hoping I’m not forgetting any! Even if you’re not ready to donate millions dollars to each and every single one (a non-profit employee’s dream, ha!), maybe take a moment to check out their websites, give them a follow and learn more about what they are doing to help Northeastern Ohioans — and in some cases, people all over the country and world.
