In honor of #GivingTuesday, we are spotlighting various philanthropic efforts in our various communities, all of which could use your support

For those who do not know, Giving Tuesday was started to inspire positive change and community engagement worldwide. Taking place each year at the start of the holiday season, it acts as a reminder to help those who are less fortunate during a time often associated with indulgence and materialism.

Here are several of our offices' current initiatives.
