Today, October 4, is Pittsburgh Gives Day of Giving. If you aren’t familiar with it, the Day of Giving is an event coordinated through the Pittsburgh Foundation. During this one day each year, the Pittsburgh community is called upon to donate to any number of non-profit organizations in the Pittsburgh and surrounding areas. Once a donation is made, the Pittsburgh Foundation then makes a prorated match (based on total donations) to the non-profits, making each donation go further toward supporting the non-profit sector.
If you have ever thought about making a donation to the Millvale Community Library, today would be the day to do it! Please note that the Millvale Community Library does not have a separate page on the Pittsburgh Gives website, but is covered under our supporting entity, New Sun Rising.
Please consider making a donation to the Millvale Community Library through New Sun Rising. Some quick information about donating can be found below or by visiting the Pittsburgh Gives website at http://pittsburghgives.org/. Remember, you must donate through “New Sun Rising” on the Pittsburgh Gives website. The process is simple and takes about 60 seconds to complete! (I did it, I know.)
