Holiday Hands Update!
HOLIDAY HANDS UPDATE! YOU DID IT!!!
Today, through our Holiday Hands program, you met the needs of 550 families in less than 2 hours. You are unbelievable. We at Together Rising are overwhelmed, filled up, exhausted, and mostly – grateful. Grateful for the courage of the askers and grateful for the character of the givers. Grateful that we are able to create the world we live in. Grateful that today, you showed up and created a more beautiful world.Isn’t it wild? We spend so much time looking at the world with our hearts broken – wishing it were different. Wishing people cared for each other. Wishing people would be kinder, live bigger, think beyond themselves. And then one day we find ourselves jumping in and MAKING IT SO. These 550 families will go to bed tonight in a kinder, bigger, smaller, better world. THANK YOU! And 4 things:1) If you missed Holiday Hands and still want to help families over the holidays, you can give a one-time or monthly tax-deductible donation to Together Rising by going to togetherrising.org/give/ We continue receiving & filling requests for holiday needs through mid-December — and we fill the needs of families all year long. 2) If you cannot give financially, but want to give holiday love, we have a section of listings asking for thoughts /letters /encouragement/ prayers – so please head over to the “Together Letters” section at togetherrising.org/holidayhands to connect with a family there. 3) Your trust in Together Rising is everything to us. We honor our commitment to this community by researching every Holiday Hands request, as well as each need we meet in our daily and holiday giving. We are unable to review requests made directly on social media, so instead of matching giving to requests on our social media pages, we ask that if you missed the opportunity to list your need in Holiday Hands, please go to https://togetherrising.org/request-help-individual-or…/ and tell us about your need. 4) If you participated in Holiday Hands as a Lister or Giver:THANK YOU!!!!
