The holiday season has a way of opening hearts. Food drives fill up, kitchens get busy, and neighbors look for ways to help. Then January arrives. The decorations come down, donations slow, and the families we serve are still facing empty cupboards, high heating bills, and the long stretch to spring.
That's why GivingTuesday matters so much to StreetWise Georgia. On Tuesday, December 1, 2026, you can make a gift that carries the generosity of the holidays into the months when it's needed most.
What Is GivingTuesday?
GivingTuesday is a global day of generosity held every year on the Tuesday after Thanksgiving. It began in 2012 as a simple idea: after a weekend of shopping deals, set aside one day to give back. Today, millions of people around the world use it to support the causes and communities they care about.
For StreetWise, it's a chance for our whole community to show up for Gwinnett families on the same day. When we give together, the impact multiplies. We really are better together.
Why Your Gift Matters After the Holidays
Hunger doesn't end when the holiday meals are served. Winter can be one of the hardest seasons for working families, as utility bills rise and holiday donations taper off. A GivingTuesday gift keeps food on our shelves through January, February, and beyond.
Generosity Rooted in Faith
At StreetWise, we serve because God first loved us. Our faith-driven mission is about more than food. It's about dignity, hope, and helping families take real steps toward stability. When you give on GivingTuesday, you're joining a community that chooses to love well, not only during the holidays but all year long.
How to Give on GivingTuesday
Mark your calendar for December 1, then choose the way that works best for you:
Give online. Make a gift through our donation page and note "GivingTuesday."
Make it monthly. A recurring gift is one of the most powerful ways to support StreetWise. It helps us plan for the months when donations slow down.
Give as a group. Invite your family, small group, Sunday school class, or coworkers to give together and celebrate your combined gift.
Ask about a match. Many employers match charitable gifts. Check with your HR team to see if your GivingTuesday gift can go twice as far.
Share the story. Post about StreetWise on social media with #GivingTuesday and invite your friends to join you.
