It’s Giving Tuesday.
The generosity movement takes place the Tuesday after Thanksgiving to encourage people to commit an act of kindness, whether that’s supporting a local food pantry, giving a donation, or helping a neighbor.
We know it can be hard to figure out where to donate your hard-earned money, so we compiled a list of local organizations that you can consider donating to for Giving Tuesday. You can also donate to us here at LINK nky so that Northern Kentucky’s only independent news organization continues to thrive for years to come.
