Staff reports  | After the frenetic shopping and pace of Black Friday and CyberMonday, you might want to set aside a little something to give back to others on GivingTuesday, which is marked around the world as a day for generosity.

“GivingTuesday was created in 2012 as a simple idea: a day that encourages people to do good,” according to the organization’s website.  “Over the past seven years, it has grown into a global movement that inspires hundreds of millions of people to give, collaborate, and celebrate generosity.

“Whether it’s making someone smile, helping a neighbor or stranger out, showing up for an issue or people we care about, or giving some of what we have to those who need our help, every act of generosity counts and everyone has something to give.”

In Charleston County, more than 200 organizations are taking part in the global giving effort.
