In the face of COVID-19, representatives for local non-profit organizations stress the importance of giving today, known as Giving Tuesday. United Way of Central Kentucky spokesperson Hunter Roberts says that this year in particular has seen United Way and other organizations being contacted for help, making Giving Tuesday that much more important for continued services.
Locally, United Way is just one of many organizations participating in Giving Tuesday. The event, which began back in 2012, is celebrated the Tuesday after Thanksgiving.
