GivingTuesday December 3, 2019

First there is Black Friday, then Cyber Monday. The big day, however, is GivingTuesday, which is Tuesday, Dec. 3 for 2019.  GivingTuesday, held on the Tuesday after Thanksgiving, is a global generosity movement unleashing the power of people and organizations to transform their communities. It was created in 2012 as a simple idea: a day that encourages people to do good. Over the past seven years, this idea has grown into a global movement that inspires hundreds of millions of people to give, collaborate, and celebrate generosity.

One of the best ways to get involved is in your own community. Here are a few places in the Greater Flint area that have joined in the giving movement.
