On #GivingTuesday, you can make the world a better place

By Petula Dvorak Columnist December 1 @petulad

I have the answer to erase all this damage done around the season that was once a time to humbly bow our heads and give thanks for all that we have. It’s a new thing called Giving Tuesday, an idea that started in New York two years ago and quickly spread via social media. The first #GivingTuesday, in 2012, generated $10.1 million in donations. Last year, that nearly doubled, to $19.2 million.

The Okiciyap food pantry and youth program on the Cheyenne River Sioux Reservation can always use donations, especially as we get into the Winter months. Native Americans living on reservations are among the poorest of the poor in our country, and some of the reservations have unemployment rates running to 80% or higher.
