This Tuesday, December 1, 2015, HeartShare Human Services is participating in #GivingTuesday, a global day dedicated to giving.

Last year, more than 30,000 organizations in 68 countries came together to celebrate #GivingTuesday. Since its founding in 2012, #GivingTuesday has inspired giving around the world, resulting in greater donations, volunteer hours, and activities that bring about real change in communities. We invite you to join the movement and to help get out the give this December 1.

Remember, all donations are tax-deductible.

Some ideas include:

Generously Giving a Financial Donation

Donate to HeartShare, which will directly benefit the children, adults and families in our programs, at heartshare.org/donate.

Bringing Holiday Joy to Those in Our Care

Contribute to our Annual Toy and Gift Drive by shipping a gift or toy for a child or adult in HeartShare’s care this holiday season no later than Tuesday, December 15 to HeartShare Human Services, Danielle Maurice, 12 MetroTech Center, 29th Floor, Brooklyn, NY 11201. HeartShare, which primarily receives toys and games for children, is particularly in need of donations for adults with developmental disabilities, including warm clothing, purses or wallets, as well as CDs and DVDs.

Getting Social

Encourage family, friends and colleagues to like and follow HeartShare on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram @heartshare and @hsvsnyc. Our social media sites are where we share breaking news and our success stories.

HeartShare and its Family of Services rely on your continued generosity year after year. Thank you for kicking off your holiday season on #GivingTuesday.
