A new movement is sweeping the nation, a movement to celebrate the season of giving and inspire people to make a difference in their communities.  Now in its third year, #GivingTuesday, is observed on the first Tuesday following Thanksgiving, and offers people a break from holiday shopping to give back to the charities and causes they love.

This year, Brightside St. Louis is pleased to be part of #GivingTuesday, which will take place on Tuesday, December 2^nd.

As part of our ongoing commitment to making St. Louis cleaner, greener and more environmentally sustainable, we would like to encourage you to consider making a charitable donation that will contribute to programs that help clean up neighborhoods, remove graffiti from vandalized properties or help plant flowers, shrubs and trees to beautify public spaces.  Or, if you’d rather pledge your time, we would love for you to register as a Brightside volunteer.

For over 30 years, Brightside has cleaned and beautified neighborhoods across the city.  Our efforts have been successful because they are powered by volunteers and made possible through generous donations.

On Tuesday, December 2^nd, show your support for Brightside by participating in #GivingTuesday.  Here are some ways you can help us reach our goals:

• Donate securely online, or mail donations to our office at 4646 Shenandoah Avenue, St. Louis, MO 63110 or make a donation by phone at 314-772-4646.
• Double the impact of your donation. Find out if your employer will match your donation by visiting https://doublethedonation.com/giving-tuesday/ .
• Become a Brightside volunteer! Simply fill out the form and we’ll keep you informed about the latest volunteer opportunities.
• Gather a team of volunteers—coworkers, family, friends, neighbors—and register your group with us. While we only have a couple of volunteer opportunities remaining in 2014, we’ll have plenty of projects to go around come springtime and your team will be at the top of the list.

Be part of #GivingTuesday and make a difference in St. Louis!  Learn more about the programs your donations will help support.
