JACKSBORO, TN (SPECIAL TO WLAF) – This Giving Tuesday is one of the most important days of the year for our local nonprofits. In the first quarter of 2020 nonprofits saw a 6% loss in giving and they could see more than $25 billion that would have been given to nonprofits this year lost because of the pandemic.

In addition 35% of Americans expect to donate less money or no money to charitable causes in the coming year and more than half (52%) of Americans do not plan to volunteer or will volunteer less next year.

Campbell County nonprofits need our support more than ever. They help our communities stay great places to live and contribute to the quality of life we enjoy.
