The Season of Giving

Here we are, friends—closing out another year and whew, what a year it was. I don’t want to talk about 2021 right now though, instead, I’d like to cover the Season of Giving. #GivingTuesday launches in just a few days (Nov 30, 2021) and I have a few links that I’d like to share with you if giving is your thing and you’re looking into organizations or causes to support.

 

For fellow Veterans

Being a Veteran, and a Veteran Owned Business, anything to support resources for our wounded warriors runs deep for me.

Domestic Violence Resources

Behind the scenes of COVID19 lockdowns, domestic violence cases increased by 25-33 percent globally in 2020. Support resources through the links below.

AIDS/LifeCycle

Originally, this ride was on my radar in 2020 with COVID shutting that down. So, 2022 was the next opportunity. A lot has happened, but this is still very important to me and I share as another opportunity for giving this season. Let’s help #EndAids. Read my story in the link below.
