Simple ways to show up for your neighbors. Pick one and go!
Most of us want to be good neighbors. We care about the people around us. We mean to do more. But knowing where to start can feel like too much to figure out alone. Tuesday, June 23rd is TogetherTuesday, a national day of community action from GivingTuesday and Be The People. It’s a day for turning those feelings into one simple thing you actually do.
Give Pikes Peak has gathered simple, concrete ideas from local nonprofits and organizations. Here’s all you need to do:
- Browse the ideas below.
- Pick one that fits your day.
- Do it on Tuesday, June 23rd.
- Share what you did and tag #TogetherTuesday and the nonprofit you supported.
One person, one action, one day, multiplied across the entire Pikes Peak region.
