Wiregrass United Way may have had their biggest Giving Tuesday yet!

Giving Tuesday is a great opportunity for them to push for donations, but they don’t want people to forget that they need year round support.

“Giving can’t be just one day or one season, because some people are so busy now they forget to give or they don’t have time or they’re on a tight budget, and they’re like I want to give but I’m going to have to give after I get through the holidays and so giving is year round,” said Hill. The tradition of Giving Tuesday serves as a great reminder to give back during the holiday season. With the help of a local anonymous donor, it might’ve been Wiregrass United Way’s biggest Giving Tuesday ever!

Hill said, “They’ve agreed to match up to $25,000 in pledges today so that’s why we’re doing a big push. We would do it anyway if we didn’t have the matching dollars but we’re doing it today to receive those matching funds.”To pledge a donation to Wiregrass United Way click
