We’ve gotten through Black Friday, Small Business Saturday, and Cyber Monday….now, we have Giving Tuesday.
It’s a national effort that was started in New York City in 2012. It kicks off the effort, during the holidays, where people focus on charity.
Although it is a national movement, local organizations can participate too. There are several Butler County nonprofits participating including Butler County Humane Society, Reagan’s Journey in Freeport, J and J Farms Animal Sanctuary in Saxonburg, and Honor Flight Pittsburgh in West Sunbury as well as Breathe Pennsylvania, Family Guidance, and HeartPrints Center for Early Education all in Cranberry.
The national Giving Tuesday effort can be found online at www.givingtuesday.org and #GivingTuesday.
