STCC seeks support for students on #GivingTuesdayNow

May 4, 2020

SPRINGFIELD, Mass. – Springfield Technical Community College is seeking help for students affected by the COVID-10 pandemic on #GivingTuesdayNow.

#GivingTuesdayNow, a new global day of giving and unity that will take place on May 5, is an emergency response to the unprecedented need caused by COVID-19. The effort is in addition to the regularly scheduled #GivingTuesday on Dec. 1, 2020.

The day is designed to drive an influx of generosity, citizen engagement, business and philanthropy activation, and support for communities and nonprofits around the world. 

“Your support on #GivingTuesdayNow helps STCC to continue providing education that is crucial to the forefront of the pandemic and beyond,” said Kelly Galanis, director of Operations and Donor Relations at STCC. “Many of our students have lost their jobs. They’re worried about paying rent and getting food on the table. Your donation to the STCC Foundation will make a meaningful difference in their lives.”

Those interested in joining STCC’s #GivingTuesdayNow efforts can visit  https://secure.qgiv.com/for/stccf?

You also can text "STCC" to 50155.

People can show their generosity in a variety of ways during #GivingTuesdayNow, whether it’s helping a neighbor, advocating for an issue, sharing a skill, or giving to causes, every act of generosity counts. The global movement will emphasize opportunities to give back to communities and causes in safe ways that allow for social connection even while practicing physical distancing. 

“As a global community, we can mourn this moment of extreme crisis while also finding the opportunity to support one another. We each have the power to make an impact with acts of generosity, no matter how small, and to ensure the sustainability of organizations and services that are crucial to the care and support of our communities,” said Asha Curran, CEO of GivingTuesday. “#GivingTuesdayNow is a chance for us to stand united and use grassroots generosity to show that we are all in this together, beginning to end. Even as many face financial uncertainty, generosity is not about size. From calling an elderly neighbor to chat to offering translation help; from showing gratitude to our healthcare workers to donating to your local food bank, every act of kindness is a beacon of hope in this crisis. We all have something to give, and every act of human consideration and kindness matters.”
