The global social media initiative titled "Giving Tuesday" is Tues., Nov. 28, 2017. According to the Web site, GivingTuesday.org, Giving Tuesday is a day of giving that's observed around the world. The movement, powered by social media collaborators and sites using the hashtag #GivingTuesday, is honored each year on the Tuesday after Thanksgiving.
According to the Web site, people can participate in #GivingTuesday in many ways including volunteering time, or by donating money saved from #BlackFriday and #CyberMonday.
