“Most people know about Black Friday and Cyber Monday. It is a new movement for giving and volunteering, taking place each year after Cyber Monday. The “Opening day of the giving season,” it is a day where charities, companies and individuals join together to share commitments, rally for favourite causes and think about others.” – GivingTuesday.org

How can you get involved?

Give, fundraise, spread the word and take the pledge to make a difference this GivingTuesday. Learn more here.

November 19th? It must be World Toilet Day!

WTD-FB-1-1024x535“World Toilet Day is about the 2.4 billion people who lack access to improved sanitation. It is about the nearly 1 billion people who have to defecate in the open. It is about the millions of children whose futures are compromised by poor sanitation and related nutrition problems. And it is about you, who can’t wait to change this situation.” – WorldToiletDay.org

November 19th is World Toilet Day. Did you know that the rainwater collected from rain barrels can be used to flush your toilet! How cool is that?

The video below is a couple years old, but it is still one of our favourites. Matt Damon knows that the toilet is the greatest invention that has saved more lives than any other in the history of humankind. The use of rain barrels contributes to the goals of clean water in our world and better sanitation for all.

November 6th is #RandomActOfKindnessDay

RAK_Website_Topper_Image_2015In November 2008 The Kitchener Waterloo Community Foundation (KWCF) embarked on a mission to help create empathy in their community. Out of a strategic planning session came the idea of a day in which thousands of people would be involved in an initiative where kindness could explode in their community.

After a successful year with Random Acts of Kindness Day, the KWCF decided to spread the kindness and get other Community Foundations involved.  The idea to “go national” has had a ripple effect, seeing over 250 communities across Canada to date celebrating kindness.

With The KWCF’s focus on creating a more empathetic and connected community, Random Act of Kindness Day® was born.  And the rest, as they say, is history.

RainBarrel.ca wants to hear about your #RandomActsOfKindness today! Please share in the comments section.
