It's #GivingTuesday Time ... Who Can You Help?

New Hampshire nonprofits are looking for support during this global initiative.

Giving Tuesday is a global initiative dedicated to giving back and celebrating generosity.

Tomorrow, Tuesday, Dec. 2, charities, families, businesses, community centers, and students around the world are being asked to share how they can give someone or something a bit more than usual.

Here in New Hampshire, a number of nonprofits are participating in the event, if you feel the urge to give a bit more.
