Giving Tuesday: nonprofits' answer to Black Friday, Cyber Monday

http://socialnetworkingnews.org/giving-tuesday-nonprofits-answer-to-black-friday-cyber-monday/

During the evening of Giving Tuesday this week, leaders of the Jewish Federation of Greater Pittsburgh’s 2015 fundraising campaign will staff a phone bank and urge supporters to pledge gifts that could be matched from a $10,000 pool donated by campaign chair David Sufrin, a retired business executive from Squirrel Hill.


The nonprofit isn’t limiting its appeal to dollars, however.


It hopes people will embrace the volunteer spirit of the third annual Giving Tuesday earlier in the day by showing up to sort food and stock shelves at the Squirrel Hill Community Food Pantry; serve lunch to seniors at the Jewish Community Center in Squirrel Hill; or help organize clothing at Thriftique, the National Council of Jewish Women’s consignment store in Swissvale
