“Giving Tuesday” A Meaningful Donation from Kiss Products
KISS Products successfully concluded its 2024 Giving Tuesday initiative on December 3rd through two signature programs- “Matching Gifts” and “Care Packages”- in partnership with local organizations serving the under-privileged communities. Giving Tuesday is a global day of generosity observed annually on the Tuesday following Thanksgiving, and KISS Products’ initiative underscores its commitment to fostering sustainable development where everyone can flourish.
In the lead up to Giving Tuesday, on November 19th, KISS Products hosted “Inspiring Stories of Service,” a panel event featuring Pastor Taehoo Lee of North Philly Community Church, renowned for his dedication to underserved youth in inner city Philadelphia, and Kaylin Peterson, the Corporate Philanthropy Manager of Long Island Cares. Over 200 hundred employees from the company’s Headquarters in Port Washington attended, gaining practical insights on how to support local communities meaningfully.
As part of the initiative, the first program- “Matching Gifts”- supported Pastor Lee’s mission by matching employee donations dollar for dollar, effectively doubling their impact. The funds raised will directly benefit programs for youth in North Philadelphia.
The second program – “Care Packages”- partnered with Long Island Cares, the Harry Chapin Food Bank, to deliver over 400 care packages containing essential food supplies and bestselling beauty products to single mothers in the Long Island area. KISS Products actively participated hands-on in packing these care packages in a show of solidarity in support for vulnerable communities. The packages will be distributed on December 6th in collaboration with the Economic Commission of Nassau County in Glen Cove.
