South Lake Tahoe nonprofits participate in #GivingTuesday

Now that the Thanksgiving holiday is over, as is Black Friday, and Small Business Saturday is here, time can shift to nonshopping activities like volunteering and charity donations.

GivingTuesday is a global generosity movement unleashing the power of people and organizations to transform their communities and the world on December 3, 2019, and every day. There are several South Lake Tahoe nonprofits participating in GivingTuesday this year.

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.
