Save the date — Giving Tuesday is coming

${imgAlt}

Next week, November 28, is Giving Tuesday — a global day of giving and generosity. Giving Tuesday is a day to lift up the things you value — the things you care about — the things that rely on an engaged community to thrive. It's an important day for a lot of us. WFIU is proud to be one of the organizations taking part. We encourage you to not only support WFIU but also the other local nonprofits working toward positive change.

The organizations below are all part of Community Minute, a WFIU public service program created to provide a connection between WFIU listeners and non-profit services and organizations in south central Indiana. New Community Minute PSAs are recorded quarterly. Contact the station for more information.
