Now, more than ever, we are called upon to make a difference
Giving Tuesday is an opportunity for our community to come together, FOR ONE DAY, to support a future where professionally trained Guide Dogs, Autism Service Dogs and OSI-PTSD Service Dogs are changing lives.
Giving Tuesday is on November 29, 2022!
Giving Tuesday is the world’s largest generosity movement. It was created in 2012 as a simple idea: a day that encourages people to do good: make someone smile, help a neighbour or stranger, show up for an issue you care about, or give some of what you have to those in need. Over the past nine years, it has since grown into a global movement, unleashing the power of people and organizations to transform their communities and the world.
