Forget Black Friday; It’s Giving Tuesday”

Tuesday offers local people a seasonal alternative to the present-buying orgy.

It’s called Giving Tuesday,” or more precisely #GivingTuesday, an international event. It offers a chance for people who view the holidays as about more than spending money to acquire commodities to spend money to help people as well.

The local United Way made a pitch to have people donate to the agency to further its work to wipe out chronic homelessness by year’s end and tackle health, educational, and financial stability challenges. Click here to learn more about that; and/or click on the above video.

The Arts Council of Greater New Haven put out a similar #GivingTeesday pitch with the above video and sending donors to this link.
