Giving Tuesday is here! Giving Tuesday is a celebration of generosity that occurs on the Tuesday after Thanksgiving. Around the world, compassionate hearts like yours mark the day by giving their time, gifts and money to their favorite causes.
Here’s FOUR reasons giving to Lutheran World Relief on Giving Tuesday — and any other day of the year! — is a great idea.
But you must act now, because ONE is only good for TODAY!
1. YOUR LOVE GOES FASTER
Your love reaches those in urgent need with comforting quilts, essential kits and lifesaving cash grants — in record time! We often work with trusted faith partners to preposition supplies, both here and globally, so your love gets to our neighbors in crisis when they need it most. Because LWR Quilts and Kits had been delivered to our partner in Texas before the tragic flooding, they were in the hands of neighbors only 12 hours after the flooding started!
2. YOUR LOVE STAYS LONGER.
It only takes minutes for buildings to crumble and lives to shatter, but the road to recovery can take years. That’s why we not only walk with our neighbors in their immediate crisis but also accompany them to build back stronger. In disaster-prone countries like Nepal, this comes in the form of livelihood and agricultural training to ensure that our neighbors are better prepared the next time and are more resilient to future uncertainties. (Above: After years apart, your support helped Shrisha’s family reunite by empowering them to build a thriving, disaster-resilient business in Nepal.)
3. Your love reaches the most vulnerable neighbors in the hardest-to -reach places.
Whether across oceans or in our own backyards, your compassion enables us to reach those others can’t. In the Democratic Republic of Congo, giving birth can be a death sentence. Health clinics are few and far between, and many health care workers don’t have the resources they need. The Safe Delivery App provides maternal health care workers with lifesaving knowledge. The results are better equipped lifesavers and healthier mothers and children, no matter how far! (Above: Baby Celestin was born at only 28 weeks in a place without electricity or NICU. Your support ensured he went home healthy.)
4. YOUR LOVE DOUBLES (BUT JUST FOR TODAY!)
Every single day your gift to Lutheran World Relief ensures we can help those in need quicker, stay longer and reach the most vulnerable. But only TODAY will your impact also DOUBLE.
