#GivingTuesdayNow: 2022
November 28, 2022
#GivingTuesday is a global day of giving and unity that will take place on November 29th, 2022. Heading into the coldest months of the year reminds us how important it is for people who are homeless to get the help they need to survive, thrive, and overcome homelessness. Because we believe that generosity has the power to unite and heal communities in good times and bad, we are joining in this global day of giving. Give to unite. Give local. Donate today.
Did you know that you can receive health benefits by giving?
The health benefits you'll receive by investing in giving this #GivingTuesday:
- It's a Stress Reducer
- Giving Activates the Reward Center in the Brain
- It Improves Self-Esteem
- Brings About a Positive Mood and Lowers Depression Rate
- Can Lead to a Longer Life Expectancy
- It Improves the Community
We also know that being homeless can make you sick. If you are sick, homelessness will
make you sicker and can kill you.
The effects of homelessness on health:
- Inadequate Nutrition and an Uncertain Diet
- Chronic Stress and Sleep Deprivation
- Exposure to the Elements and Temperature Extremes
- Lack of Access to Facilities for Daily Hygiene
- Lack of Safety on the Streets
- Overcrowded shelters
- Extreme Poverty
- Lack of Health Care and Insurance
- Impact of Congregate Living on Public Health and Lack of Access to Services (COVID impacts)
...all of these effects lead to premature aging.
Today and every day, people experiencing homelessness need our services.
Please give TODAY and you can make positive health impacts for yourself and others. Invest in
ending homelessness and celebrate this day of giving.
