Manatee County Habitat for Humanity accepted a proclamation on behalf of #GivingTuesday at the Board of County Commissioners Meeting on Tuesday, December 1, 2015, at 9am. The proclamation designated December 1st, 2015 as a "DAY OF GIVING," celebrating philanthropy and volunteerism in Manatee County.
Manatee Habitat for Humanity celebrated #GivingTuesday with the launch of the #Heart4Giving campaign which challenges citizens to create a video on why they give back to the community. This provides an additional opportunity to recognize the tremendous impact of individual giving in Manatee County. Manatee Habitat encourages citizens to serve others throughout the holiday season and the entire year. Individuals are encouraged to participate through the Manatee Habitat website and social media: Facebook: www.facebook.com/MCHFH Twitter: twitter.com/ManateeHabitat
#GivingTuesday is held annually on the Tuesday after Thanksgiving, to kick-off the holiday giving season and to inspire people to take collaborative action to improve their local communities and to give back in better, smarter ways to the charities and causes they support.
