Give back during the holiday season to a Midlands non-profit on Giving Tuesday

COLUMBIA, S.C. (WOLO)– Tis’ the season of giving and one way you can share the spirit this year is by giving back on Giving Tuesday.

On Tuesday, December 3, you can donate to an organization in the Midlands.

Many organizations like TogetherSC, GirlGetUpSociety, Humane Society Columbia, Columbia Repertory Dance Company, Historic Columbia, and more.

Organizers say the movement started in New York 6 years ago as a way to bring people together to give.

But, today it has grown into a global effort.

Last year, organizers say more than $2.7 billion was raised online in just 24 hours in the U.S.
