On Tuesday, November 27, 2012, charities, families, businesses and individuals across the nation are coming together to transform the way people think about, talk about and participate in the giving season.

Black Friday, Small Business Saturday and Cyber Monday are all opportunities for you to shop and get things for yourself, your friends and your family.   Giving Tuesday provides you with the opportunity to spread the holiday spirit by giving back to a cause you care about and helping a neighbor in need.

Harford Family House, a transitional shelter for homeless families with children, is participating in this effort as a part of the United Way of Central Maryland, along with many other local organizations.  Show your support for your community by going to http://www.uwcm.org/giving-tuesday/ any time on Tuesday, November 27 and making a donation to Harford Family House.
