“Come As You Are”

as part of National Eating Disorders Awareness Week, February 24 – March 1, 2020

We encourage our community to embrace this year’s National Eating Disorders Awareness Week theme, “Come as You Are: Hindsight is 20/20,” by reflecting on the positive steps they’ve taken — including those stemming from setbacks or challenges — toward accepting themselves and others.

EDF and other local organizations are hosting a few events during NEDAWeek. Check them out!

#GivingTuesdayNow

May 5 all-day

#GivingTuesdayNow is a global day of giving and unity that will take place on May 5, 2020 as an emergency response to the unprecedented need caused by COVID-19.

#COGives provides a safe and secure way to support Colorado nonprofits in one easy transaction.

#GivingTuesdayNow is an opportunity for people around Colorado and the world to stand together in unity–to use their individual power of generosity to remain connected and heal.

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.

At a time when we are all experiencing the pandemic, generosity is what brings people of all races, faiths, and political views together across the globe. Generosity gives everyone the power to make a positive change in the lives of others and is a fundamental value anyone can act on.

#GivingTuesdayNow emphasizes opportunities to give back to communities and causes in safe ways that allow for social connection and kindness even while practicing physical distancing.

We all have gifts to give, and with social media, online giving, delivery, mail, and phones, there are limitless ways to use your generosity to support others.
