WAYNE COUNTY, Ind. – December 2, 2025, marks Giving Tuesday, a global day of generosity that encourages people to support nonprofits, volunteer, and spread kindness.
This began in 2012 as a way to balance the consumerism of Black Friday and Cyber Monday. It’s now grown into a worldwide movement, raising billions of dollars for charitable causes each year.
Across the nation, organizations are calling on donors to step up and give, no matter how big or small. From food banks to scholarship funds, nonprofits are using Giving Tuesday to inspire hope and highlight the impact of contributions.
Here in east-central Indiana and surrounding counties, dozens of groups accept donations.
