Amy Cullum, JSI senior consultant working in emergency preparedness said, “I am so honored to be working with these people and in this response. I am so grateful to JSI for supporting this effort and all of our work for all these years.”
#GivingTuesdayNow is a global day of unity taking place on May 5, 2020, in emergency response to the unprecedented need caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. While it is typically held every year on the Tuesday following Thanksgiving, #GivingTuesdayNow gives the opportunity to come together as a global community as we all tackle this threat. It emphasizes getting involved in your own community to spread generosity, citizen engagement, and support nonprofits around the world.
