What is GivingTuesday?

GivingTuesday began in 2012 one simple idea, a day encouraging people to do good. Since then, it’s gained momentum all around the world.

It happens every year after the massive shopping days, Black Friday and Cyber Monday. It’s a time for us all to come together and participate in giving back.

GivingTuesday is a day of generosity. This can mean a number of things. Whether it’s volunteering in your community, helping out a friend or donating to a great cause, every act helps.

Shelter Movers has joined this global day of unity as a way to participate in a movement with the power to create a positive impact and allow us to better serve survivors of gender-based violence. 

Give your goods – donate your unused items to a local shelter.

Give your talent – if you have a great skill, share some of it with a local nonprofit – many of which don’t have the resources for large HR, marketing or tech teams. Shelter Movers is always looking for talented, dedicated volunteers in a variety of different roles. Consider joining our team! 

Give your voice – amplify the causes that you’re passionate about by getting out there and speaking up. We are asking our supporters who are passionate about the fight to end gender-based violence use their voices to speak up and shed light on the horrific reality of violence in homes across Canada.
