Give Thanks to Ventura Heroes This #GivingTuesday

VENTURA, Calif. - Nov. 24, 2023 - PRLog -- For the second straight year, Ventura Fire Foundation is joining the global nonprofit community and participating in #GivingTuesday.

#GivingTuesday was created in 2012 as a simple idea: a day that encourages people to do good. Since then, it has grown into a global movement that inspires hundreds of millions of people to give, collaborate, and celebrate generosity.

This year, #GivingTuesday falls on November 28. On that day, we encourage all Ventura businesses and residents to show their appreciation for local firefighters in two ways:

Donate to Ventura Fire Foundation. All dollars received are directed towards the Foundation's wellness progrms for firefighters and their families.

Thank a firefighter on social media. Post your story how a firefighter helped you. Be sure to tag #venturafirefoundation so we can share it as well.

In 2022, Ventura Fire Foundation raised more than $10,000 in its #GivingTuesday campaign. This year, the goal is $15,000.

"Whether it's battling a wildfire, providing care in a medical emergency, or even responding to a false alarm, we've all been helped by local firefighters." says Joe Booth, executive director of the Ventura Fire Foundation. "#GivingTuesday is an opportunity to thank these heroes for their service."
