For many Americans, faith plays a major role in their desire to give and serve. Here are some of the ways that churches, faith-based organizations, mosques, temples, and other places of worship have been participating in the GivingTuesday movement:
The Church of the Holy Angels fundraised for St. Jerome School, an older, economically-disadvantaged school on the other side of Cleveland. The parishioners raised over $25,000 to help the school get a renovation for their gym, allowing them to better serve the needs of their students in nourishing their minds, bodies, and spirits!
