#GIVING TUESDAY
TOGETHER WE ARE A FORCE FOR GOOD
In response to the current pandemic, #GivingTuesdayNow is a new global day of giving instituted as an emergency response to the unprecedented need brought about by COVID-19. Today, #GivingTuesdayNow provides us all with the opportunity to be a united force of change in the lives of the many who have been negatively impacted by the present situation, creating a wave of generosity, engagement, philanthropy, and support for communities and nonprofits around the world.
Older adults face the most threats and challenges at this time, and while social distancing is necessary for protection, the lack of human contact and companionship can take a toll on mental health. The Juanita C. Foundation urges you to consider lending your support to outreach programs such as Village Connector, which aims to bring comfort to those whose loneliness has been exacerbated by isolation.
With the recent implementation of the CARES Act and subsequent provision of economic relief, financial scams are on the rise, targeting stimulus checks by providing false information about payments. As a result, education about elder abuse and exploitation is needed more than ever at this time. With your help, the Juanita C. Grant Foundation can provide fraud & abuse consultation and referral services to members of the 50+ community who need them.
Please consider donating today. Your generosity makes a difference.
