For years, Black Friday has been a national obsession.

With the rise of online shopping, Cyber Monday (the Monday after Black Friday) has become one of the biggest shopping days of the year.

Recently, a new trend called Giving Tuesday has begun growing to provide people a chance to donate their time, talents and treasure as the holiday season opens.

Carey Services will part of the Nov. 29th Giving Tuesday observance. As you think about how you might give on that day, consider the many opportunities you have to connect with Carey Services and the work we do to help people with disabilities turn abilities and barriers into opportunities.

One of the newest ways we create opportunities is through a new program that allows clients to express themselves artistically. We have a dedicated art studio where clients paint, sew and build items that allow them to be creative and express themselves in their own individual way. Many of the items they produce also are assembled into larger collaborative art pieces. Your Giving Tuesday gift to Carey Services will help our clients express themselves more than they have been able to before.

You could donate money to help with art supplies, or you could donate you time and talent to help provide our clients new artistic ideas and additional hands to bring their ideas to fruition. Or let us know if you have ideas on how you would like to connect with us.

You can donate online here.
