Give your community something to be thankful for amid the consumerism of the holiday season by participating in Giving Tuesday, the nationally established day of generosity started in 2012 as a response to the buying culture of Cyber Monday (the Monday after Thanksgiving).
Giving Tuesday encourages individuals, no matter their income or geography, to give back to their communities in any possible way, from monetary donations to afternoons of service.
Getting involved starts with the simple act of searching for your city on givingtuesday.org. In the city of Milwaukee alone, there are over 200 organizations participating in Giving Tuesday.
