This Giving Tuesday, your support matters more than ever. With so many worthy causes and so many demands on our wallets, especially in uncertain times, it can feel overwhelming to decide where to give.

But when you choose to support a local organization, you’re investing directly in the families, neighbours, and communities you care about most.

The Walnut Foundation is right here, doing life-changing work to support Black men’s health through education, awareness, and early detection of prostate cancer. Every donation, big or small—, elps save lives and strengthens our community from within.

✨ On Giving Tuesday, give where you can see the impact. Give where it truly hits home.

Make a gift today and help us continue this urgent, local work.

This Giving Tuesday, help us keep our brothers, fathers, uncles, and partners healthy. 💙
