30-Day Giving Challenge 2024

Since 2010 (!), I have participated in the 30-Day Giving Challenge during the month of November. The premise is rather simple: each day of November be a blessing to those around you by giving each day. As I have done each year, I've already taken time to plan out my giving for this year. However, I’m also remaining open to new opportunities that might arise this November. I enjoy this part of my year, and I'm excited to see what happens during this coming month.

I have put together a Pinterest board with some of my ideas. Check it out here if you'd like to see some of my plans.

As in the past, I will be blogging about my experience.

Also, I will be participating in the challenge by trying to make each of my "giving" acts as anonymous as possible. And thus, my posts might at times be a bit vague in order to keep things anonymous.

Come join me in the adventure!
