Celebrating #GivingTuesday: A Day to Make a Difference in Minneapolis

Each year, after the bustle of Black Friday and Cyber Monday, there comes a day dedicated to giving back—Giving Tuesday. Known by its hashtag #GivingTuesday, this global movement encourages people to donate their time, money, or resources to support charities and causes that make a meaningful impact.
