We are reaching out to the community because The Night’s Shield is participating in GiveSI’s Community Day of Giving and we would be honored if you would consider making a donation to help us reach our goal.
GiveSI’s Community Day of Giving is based around the global movement of Giving Tuesday-but it is changing gears this year. This year, GiveSI is happening on October 8th and 9th-ahead of the holidays.
