#GivingTuesday

GivingTuesday is a global initiative with the goal of spreading generosity and giving back. Examples of giving back would be helping your neighbor, volunteering your time, or donating to a charity. 

Cumberland County will be celebrating GivingTuesday starting Nov. 21 at 9 a.m. and ending on Nov. 30 at 5 p.m. with help from the Cumberland Community Foundation.
