No matter how you celebrate Giving Tuesday, know that we will be celebrating you. We can’t wait to continue in our mission together—and can’t wait to spend Giving Tuesday being as generous as possible alongside you!
1. Put your child back in that superhero Halloween costume and go door-to-door delivering candy like it's a backwards Halloween (neewollaH?).
2. Take your neighbor's newspaper from the driveway up to their door.
3. Dial up the happiest playlist you can find and have socially-distanced driveway dance parties.
4. Rake your neighbor's leaves.
5. Volunteer to walk neighborhood pets whose owners could use a break.
6. Have a new neighbor? Share a list of all the amazing local restaurants they should try and what to order from each. Bonus: send a pizza from your favorite local shop.
7. Leave a box of cookies on your neighbor’s doorstep, ring the bell, and get the heck out of there.
8. Put together a Creativity Box for a neighborhood family with kids. Fill it with coloring books, games, puzzles—anything that gives parents 20 minutes to make dinner without interruption!
9. Buy a bouquet of fresh flowers and put a single flower on each of your neighbors' doorsteps.
10. Slip friendly notes into your neighbor's mailbox.
11. Visit VolunteerMatch.org to get matched with a local volunteer opportunity—anything from delivering meal kits to putting up flyers for kitten adoption.
12. Clean up your nearest park.
13. Walk the dogs at your local animal shelter.
14. Deliver flowers to your local nursing home to bring joy to the residents and staff.
15. Say hello to your neighbors when you pass each other on the street.
16. Hand out a flyer with all of the special skills you're willing and able to share. (A+ cookie baker? Star virtual math tutor? Pro headlight replacer? All valid skills!)
17. Order takeout from a local restaurant you've never tried before.
18. Start a neighborhood activity swap. Every week, rotate a new activity (like puzzles, board games, books, movies) from one house to the next.
19. Offer to go to the post office or the grocery store for your elderly neighbors.
20. Know a neighbor who can't be with family this year? Invite them to share one of your family's traditions, even if virtually!
