As we prepare for the hustle and bustle of the 2023 holiday season, recent news pointing to poverty in the U.S. reminds us that many families will struggle to put food on the table and provide holiday gifts for their children this year. Unfortunately, inflation and the ending of pandemic relief programs have created yet another spike in need in communities across the country.
As we enter the season of giving thanks and giving gifts, you can rally employees around making a meaningful impact in their communities with YouGiveGoods giving events that provide immediate and tangible resources to struggling kids, families and individuals. And, unlike cash donations, donors know exactly how their donation is being used and that their donated item(s) are actually placed in the hands of a neighbor in need.
You know your employees best, what type of event would they find most impactful in light of the recent news: a Thanksgiving food drive, a holiday toy drive, a coat and cold weather gear drive? You can support any cause with a YouGiveGoods giving event - and if you've got hands-on volunteers we can discuss adding a packing event at your location.
Let these corporate events from 2022 give you some ideas:
2022 holiday toy drive

2022 holiday giving event (multiple causes)
Corporations across the United States have been choosing YouGiveGoods to engage their employees to do good in their communities since 2011. Find out how YouGiveGoods can work for your organization today.
