Press Releases
Houston, TX – This GivingTuesday, Lone Star Legal Aid will inspire generosity by sharing compelling stories of impact, illustrating how donations directly empower us to provide free legal services and make a meaningful difference in the lives of those we serve.
GivingTuesday is a global generosity movement, unleashing the power of people and organizations to transform their communities and their world. GivingTuesday will kick off the generosity season this year by inspiring people to give back on November 28, 2023, and throughout the year.
Giving Tuesday and the giving season serve as vital opportunities to raise essential funds for nonprofits, providing crucial support for organizations like ours to continue making a positive impact in our communities.
Through the end of the year, we will highlight the impact of our work in supporting the community, share success stories, and showcase collaborative efforts like our partnership with the Houston Food Bank to inspire generosity during the giving season.
“Donations empower us to stand by individuals in their pursuit of justice, making a profound impact on lives and communities. Together, we are champions of equal access to justice, turning compassion into tangible change.” – Clarissa Ayala, Lone Star Legal Aid
GivingTuesday was launched in 2012 as a simple idea: to create a day that encourages people to do good. Over the past eleven years, this idea has grown into a global movement that inspires hundreds of millions of people to give, collaborate, and celebrate generosity.
People demonstrate generosity in many ways on GivingTuesday. Whether it’s helping a neighbor or stranger out, showing up for an issue or people we care about, or giving to causes we care about, every act of generosity counts. GivingTuesday has raised billions of dollars for critical causes around the world and gets billions of impressions on social media from people and organizations speaking up for the causes that matter to them and encouraging others to get involved in their communities.
“GivingTuesday inspires people all around the world to embrace their power to drive progress around the causes they care about, not just on one day but throughout the year,” said Asha Curran, GivingTuesday’s CEO, and co-founder. “With country and community leaders, millions of organizations, and countless givers of all kinds, GivingTuesday is creating a shared space where we can see the radical implications of a more generous world.”
