This year, along with many other nonprofit organizations throughout the country, we’ll be participating in Giving Tuesday. The event is a response to Black Friday and Cyber Monday, highlighting the need for people to give to the organizations in their areas that could use the boost.
Here’s how your donation will help: the Women’s Center of Greater Lansing offers a wide variety of services to women in the community with the ultimate goal of helping them reach self-sufficiency. We do that by providing career services like counseling, resumé writing help, job skills training, and our clothes closet stocked with interview appropriate clothing.
Many women who come to us are transitioning their lives in some way—whether that be an illness, a break up or divorce, unemployment or job change. We meet their needs for whatever those changes are with support groups, counseling, legal assistance, and more.
Your donation will help one of our clients get back on her feet and on her way to a life of her design. So after all the hoopla and bargains you find on Black Friday and Cyber Monday, we hope you’ll take part in Giving Tuesday. You can learn more about Giving Tuesday in Lansing here, or the national event on their website.
We encourage you to donate and please share the word. Use the hashtags #LansingLovesGivingTuesday and #GivingTuesday to encourage your friends and family to also give.
As always, thank you for your support!
