Local non-profit organizations are accepting donations from people on Giving Tuesday.
Giving Tuesday is a day that encourages people to give back whether it be money or time. Non-profit organizations use this day to raise money to help continue their work.
The organization dedicated to encouraging kindness marks 10 years in 2022 on the first Tuesday after Thanksgiving. "There's not a person or community in the entire world where generosity is not important," Giving Tuesday CEO Asha Curran said.
The annual day of giving began in 2012 following two major consumption days in the U.S., Black Friday and Cyber Monday, as a way to honor the value of generosity
It has since grown to a year-round movement officially celebrated across more than 85 countries, including Brazil, Ukraine and Zambia. Giving Tuesday activity takes place in every country and territory around the world annually, according to the organization.
