Giving Tuesday: A Day of Global Generosity

Giving Tuesday, born in 2012 as a simple idea at New York’s 92nd Street Y, has blossomed into a global phenomenon of generosity. Following the consumerism of Black Friday and Cyber Monday, this day encourages people worldwide to give back to their communities and causes they care about.

For the Missouri Council of the Blind, Giving Tuesday represents a powerful opportunity to amplify our mission. Your donations on this day help us provide crucial services to visually impaired individuals across Missouri, from advocacy and education to adaptive equipment and social support.

By participating in Giving Tuesday, you’re not just making a donation; you’re joining a global movement of kindness and compassion. Your support enables us to continue breaking down barriers and creating a more inclusive society for people with visual impairments. This Giving Tuesday, let’s come together to make a lasting impact on the lives of blind and visually impaired Missourians. Click here to go to our donations page.
