Local Philanthropy

Any time is a good time to give to a worthy cause, but certain times are even more appreciated. One of those times is toward the end of the year. Giving Tuesday is always on the Tuesday after Thanksgiving.
It’s after Black Friday, Small Business Saturday, Cyber Monday, the next big national day is now Giving Tuesday.
