It’s the biggest giving day of the year, and we’re encouraging everyone to get involved to make a lifesaving difference for animals in need! The best part about Giving Tuesday is that there’s SO MANY ways to give back.

We’ve compiled a list of the top five actions you can take today to be there for innocent animals nationwide this Giving Tuesday.

1. Make a lifesaving Giving Tuesday gift!

   Your gift helps us continue to be there for the animals who need us most. It’s support from friends like you that makes it possible for us to rescue, protect and care for animals from natural disasters, cruelty and neglect.

2. Start your very own social media fundraiser.

   Create your own Facebook® or Instagram® Fundraiser benefitting the ASPCA for Giving Tuesday!

3. Donate much needed items directly to ASPCA programs nationwide.

   Use AmazonSmile Charity Lists to donate items to our lifesaving programs! You can also use AmazonSmile to generate donations for the ASPCA simply by shopping.

4. Shop With Your Heart and commit to a more humane food system.

   You can help end factory farming and build a more humane, sustainable and fair food system. Use our updated shopping list for food and help us continue to fight for a better world for farmed animals.

5. Become a foster caregiver or sign up to volunteer for animals near you!

   If you live in the Los Angeles, Columbus or New York City areas, consider becoming a foster caregiver for animals in need for the ASPCA! Otherwise, find a shelter near you and learn more about volunteering and fostering.
