Giving Tuesday, often stylized as #GivingTuesday, is the Tuesday after U.S. Thanksgiving in the United States. It is a movement to create an international day of charitable giving at the beginning of the Christmas and holiday season.
This year, the NAACP San Diego branch has a working budget and, since many of their members need support during this unprecedented pandemic, the executive committee decided to pay it forward for a well deserving organization-I Am My Brother’s Keeper food program at the Jacob’s Center. View the video, above, to see how IAMBK works to feed our community.
