Giving Tuesday 2020
Today is Giving Tuesday, the National Day of Giving. And, while everyday is a good day to serve another (especially this year!), today is the day the world comes together…
CARACAS, VENEZUELA – JUNE 19: Volunteers repack medicines in a warehouse of International Committee of the Red Cross on June 19, 2019 in Caracas, Venezuela. A second shipment arrived to Venezuela from Panama on Monday June 17, containing 24 tonnes of medical supplies and generators to address the critical health situation in the country. Donations will be distributed in hospitals across the country, seeking to mitigate the shortage generated by hyperinflation and recession that has been affecting the country for more than four years. The first shipment had been authorized by President Nicolas Maduro in April after signing an agreement with the International Committee of the Red Cross. (Photo by Carlos Becerra/Getty Images)
