The Broke College Student Give Guide (4/5): Ideas that cost less than a package of ramen. 
Tomorrow is #GivingTuesday! But this year, we’re not asking you to donate. Because if there’s anything the world needs right now, it’s the pure goodness we’ve experienced from supporters like you. So here’s what we’re thinking:
Pick one way—any way!—to be generous tomorrow. We are sharing a series of Give Guides today for inspiration. Keep an eye on our profile as we roll them all out → @charitywater
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!
