The organization thanked "The New Adventures of Old Christine" star and encouraged fans to donate.

"Star Wars" fans remember late Chewbacca actor Peter Mayhew. The 7’3” actor played Chewbacca starting with “A New Hope” in 1977, all the way up to 2015’s “The Force Awakens.” Although he passed away in 2019, his family is keeping his memory alive through the Peter Mayhew Foundation.

The Peter Mayhew Foundation tweeted out a video on their Twitter account that showed them delivering toys in children's hospitals across four separate states.

"On this Giving Tuesday we’re thankful for everyone that helped us deliver toys and good cheer to kids in need all over the world," they tweeted. "This video follows our recent road trip delivering over 3,500 toys to Children’s Hospitals across four states and 1,988 miles driving."

For those interested in giving back on Giving Tuesday, the organization compiled a list of six different ways to donate. The first way is to share time by volunteering or mentoring a child at a local library or community program. Another way is to assist older adults in nursing homes, senior centers, and other organizations. Donating time by cleaning up a local beach or park is another good way to donate.

With hunger on the rise, donating to a local food bank or community fridge can also be a great way to give back to your local community. Running errands or cooking for those who are sick is also another way to participate in Giving Tuesday.
