Giving Tuesday: The 2023 Volunteer Hat campaign has arrived | Forbes

On Tuesday, all over the globe, we will join together on #GivingTuesday, the largest single day of philanthropic generosity. Across the Hudson Valley, the business leaders pictured and named here have committed to supporting Volunteer New York!, whose mission is to mobilize our community to address its greatest challenges. This Giving Tuesday, Volunteer New York! is proud to have partnered with generous sponsors, including Million Air White Plains, Air Culinaire, and Spectrum Designs. Their support has been instrumental in making this Giving Tuesday even more impactful.

Thousands of local volunteers have turned to Volunteer New York! to help support their communities — by helping a neighbor, advocating for an issue, sharing a skill, or giving to causes. Every act of generosity has counted! We hope you will join these Community Champions and noted sponsors in supporting local volunteerism.

Visit volunteernewyork.org/givingtuesday to learn how your generosity can help keep our community thriving.

Community leaders who wear the Volunteer Hat are featured in a special pull-out in the Sunday, Nov. 26 print editions of The Journal News, as well as in online galleries featuring hat-wearers from both Rockland and Westchester counties.

Why we partner with Volunteer New York!

For the ninth year, lohud and The Journal News are proud to partner with our colleagues at Volunteer New York! to promote Giving Tuesday with the Volunteer Hat campaign. As ever, our goal is simple: to boost awareness of the remarkable work accomplished by non-profits across Rockland and Westchester counties and beyond. These institutions are critical to the success of our communities and we believe they are worthy of your philanthropic support.

The Giving Tuesday campaign supports both sides of the community bridge — on one side, there are people who want to volunteer and, on the other, are the local nonprofits who need people power to meet pressing community needs. Volunteers are needed now, more than ever, in support of community resiliency and recovery.
