#GivingTuesday is a global day of giving fueled by the power of social media and collaboration. #GivingTuesday is already pretty incredible, raising over $177,000,000 last year. This year, let’s make it even more unforgettable. 
 
Here at everydayhero we’re cooking up all kinds of ways to help you #TurnYourTuesday up a notch and ensure this year is the best #GivingTuesday yet! Speaking of cooking…
 
Q: What do everydayhero and yams have in common?
 
A: There’s no one right way to serve them.
 
Baked, roasted, steamed, smashed, whole, cubed, sliced, with marshmallows or without marshmallows, sweet or savory, every chef has a unique take on dishing up yams on Thanksgiving Day. The same goes for everydayhero. Every nonprofit is unique, and there isn’t ONE way you MUST use everydayhero, in general, and especially on #GivingTuesday.

This is very helpful, thanks for making it a fun read too!
This was very helpful. We are looking at adopting everydayhero!
I actually had sweet yams (brown sugar, coconut, etc.) this year. Love this analogy though, Marssie!
