With Black Friday basically turning into an entire weekend of deals, and Cyber Monday to follow, you may need a palette cleanser from all the shopping and bargains by donating to a charity on Giving Tuesday.
Giving Tuesday officially began in 2012 as a way for people to use their money to donate to a cause or charity, in addition to buying gifts for loved ones.
