It’s Giving Tuesday, a global campaign to support non-profits in local communities.
Many local agencies are seeking contributions today.
Friends of the homeless of Tuscarawas County board president Joe Svancara says they’re raising funds for the new shelter and to shore up some programs. They have a campaign asking donors to ‘Adopt-a- Family’ at the shelter, which costs about 60 dollars a night.
Habitat for Humanity East Central Ohio is also seeking donations at its website. Spokesperson Kevin Miller says every gift of up to 25-thousand dollars will be matched dollar for dollar.
Others that have been seeking donor consideration on social media for Giving Tuesday today include the Tuscarawas County YMCA and Blessings in a Backpack.
