Giving Tuesday was created to follow Black Friday and Cyber Monday, so that after a few days of shopping then people are encouraged to give back for the holiday season.


It is a social media movement to encourage volunteering and charity. 


Memorial University’s Giving Tree received clothing donations
 for Giving Tuesday. Other people called in to donate money
 to this cause.
