Throughout the year, we often look for ways to reach out and help others, and during the holiday season, the desire to give back becomes even stronger for many people.
On Tuesday, November 28, this sense of global generosity will be celebrated, as people from all over the world come together to participate in #GivingTuesday. This is a day when individuals, organizations and businesses give back and make a difference in the lives of others. These gifts come in many forms – the donation of time; the collection of food; the organization of fundraisers; the gift of money; and more.
At John Tyler Community College, community is part of our name, and we believe in giving back and supporting our students and the communities we serve. Throughout the year and during the holiday season, our student groups, employees and Foundation support our college family and our community.
Team up with John Tyler Community College for #GivingTuesday.
