Giving Tuesday is November 28th!
This year Giving Tuesday RDU is teaming up with Raleigh United Mutual Aid Hub!
There is incredible work being done here in Raleigh, and you probably don't know about it.
We all know not every need in our community is being met by existing organizations. Raleigh United Mutual Aid Hub (RUMAH) wants to change that. Their concept: "Community Helping Community." Within RUMAH, individuals collaborate to tackle specific problems or meet individual needs at a true grassroots, micro-impact level. They're changing real people's lives for the better - and we want to be a part of it. The people of RUMAH have inspiring stories to tell and we want to give them a platform to tell them.
Follow along on our social media platforms as we all learn more about Mutual Aid efforts right here in Raleigh and how RUMAH is making a huge impact in our community.

Mutual Aid is a centuries-old tradition of neighbors helping neighbors.
Individuals stepping up and acting during times of community need.
It's people helping people.
