Local Living: Giving Tuesday in the Midlands
Local Living on ABC Columbia brought to you by MUSC Health
COLUMBIA, S.C.(WOLO)– In our look at Local Living, Tomorrow is Giving Tuesday.
Organizers say the movement started in New York six years ago as a way to bring people together to give.
Today, it’s grown into a global effort.
Last year, organizers say more than 2.7 billion dollars was raised online in just 24 hours in the U.S. alone.

If you are not sure you’re ready for a full-time forever friend, the Columbia Animal Shelter is looking for volunteers for some part-time help.
The Shelter is offering two volunteer programs to give its animals a much-needed break from the shelter life.
Anyone interested can sign up for Doggie Day Out where you can take a shelter dog for a walk or on a field trip to meet other dogs.
Also, the shelter is looking for Slumber Buddies to take shelter pets home overnight or over the weekend.
