This Thursday, Nov. 17, is Give to the Max Day. What is Give to the Max Day?

It's a giving holiday where thousands of nonprofits and schools in and around Minnesota (DGT is headquartered there) raise funds to make their programs and communities stronger!

This year, DGT has a $6,000 matching gift pledge, meaning any gifts you give to DGT until we meet that amount are doubled. What a wonderful way for us to kick off GTMD22! Give now on our GiveMN site. You don't have to be a Minnesota resident to have your contribution contribute to our GTMD total! https://www.givemn.org/organization/Doing-Good-Together

Thank you, big-hearted donors, for supporting our mission and making the world a better place, one family and one act of kindness at a time!

As shared on our main Doing Good Together page, this big-hearted story offers an opportunity to reflect on kindness and gratitude as a family.

As noted in this recent DGT newsletter https://www.doinggoodtogether.org/dgt-newsletter/put-your-child-in-someone-elses-shoes: "Sliding into someone else’s shoes helps us understand another person’s motives and emotions. ... Not surprisingly, perspective-taking also makes us more inclined to help and to act with compassion."
