Following a day for giving thanks, and a weekend’s worth of scoring deals, Bucks County residents are invited to spend this Tuesday, December 1 giving back.

Tuesday is known nationally and locally as #GivingTuesday, where a gift of any size can be donated to dozens of local organizations right online.
The project, which started nationally three years ago, was brought to the Bucks County area in 2013 by volunteers.
“Giving Tuesday Bucks is a perfect time for everyone in the community, of all ages, to embrace the meaning of the holiday season and support the organization of your choice that works so hard to make Bucks County a better place to work and live,” said Giving Tuesday Bucks Chair Jen Salisbury. “So give small, give big, give in whatever way is meaningful to you…just give. Take this opportunity to show the world that Bucks County giving is as good as it gets.”
