On #GivingTuesday, Give Local

It’s #GivingTuesday, a day to help others through donations of money, time and support, and a reminder that our lives should be as much (or more) about helping this time of year as they are about getting the latest gizmo.

All of us probably have our favorite charities for education, diseases, the environment, homelessness and more.
