Everyone knows about Black Friday and Cyber Monday, but have you heard about the most important day of all? It's called Giving Tuesday and it's held on the Tuesday following Thanksgiving. The great cause is now in its fourth year of inspiring and encouraging others to give back to organizations and people in need. For example, there are a ton of celebrities supporting #GivingTuesday and showing how social media can be used for good.
Seeing as it is a charitable season and the holidays are a time to lend a helping hand, what better way to do just that than by taking part in a movement all about philanthropy? As mentioned above, there are many famous faces joining the cause by donating to and posting about a variety of charities across Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook that could use a little extra help from each and every one of us.
Helping out and giving back anyway you can is all that truly matters. However big or small, a donation can really make a difference for the charity and in someone's life. So, here are just a few worthy charities suggested by celebs that you probably should take a look at.
Help End Child Hunger
