We’ve all heard of “Black Friday” and “Cyber Monday” but have you heard of “Giving Tuesday?”

“Giving Tuesday” is a day, once a year, set aside for people everywhere to donate to a non-profit charity of their choice. A day of giving, not getting. A day of calmness and thinking of others, not beating down the doors of stores or websites.

There are so many worthy non-profits and individuals who need your help financially. Why not “give hope” this year to someone in need? Donate to the Sounds of Hope Project to give hope to a hospice, a nursing home or shut-in this holiday season.

Please consider participating in “Giving Tuesday,” this year celebrated on Dec. 2. Whether you donate to the Sounds of Hope Project or any other charity of your choosing, you will certainly be getting a wonderful gift of hope as you give hope to others.

Sounds of Hope Project (SOHP) has been giving hope via recorded music to people in need of spiritual and/or physical healing for 10 years. SOHP officially became a non-profit organization in 2004. Since then, SOHP has recorded CDs and distributed them to shut-ins, those under hospice care, the hospitalized, and those in nursing homes.
