Giving Tuesday is a national day of giving back. Here at Community Shares, it is a day to show how thankful we are for the many unsung heroes that work in our community everyday providing warm socks for cold feet, mentors to provide guidance, reclamation and recycling for a cleaner world, shelter and rehab for injured animals, adoption for homeless pets, support for the arts, assistance for families and the homeless, and support and advocacy for individual rights and dignity.
Northwest Ohio Community Shares is northwest Ohio’s only workplace-giving federation with a focus on social justice, health and human services, animal welfare, the arts and the environment. We generate essential operating funds for local nonprofits that are working for positive change. It is through your direct donations to Community Shares that we are able to operate our workplace campaigns—campaigns that raise much-needed unrestricted funding for the local nonprofits that make up Community Shares. Thanks to your generosity, we received a full match of all Giving Tuesday donations, doubling the support for this important program!
