CINCINNATI — Black Friday and Small Business Saturday have come and gone. Now it's time for Giving Tuesday.
After spending three days shopping for yourself, family and friends, it is time to give back to charities and organizations you care about.
Cincinnati Gives is kicking off its online challenges on Monday. More than 120 local nonprofits in Cincinnati, Northern Kentucky and southeast Indiana are participating in the challenge including the Ohio Valley Goodwill.
The organization is asking for support whether it is buying clothes or donating.
Cincinnati Gives is working to make an impact for nonprofits over the next 10 days.
Here are some other nonprofits participating in the challenge:
Matthew 25 Ministries
Provides aid and relief to disaster victims throughout the United States and around the world. On Tuesday, the first $37,000 donated to the organization will also be matched.
