Islamic Relief USA is also leading its own Giving Tuesday campaign to raise funds for families in need.
“This #GivingTuesday, we are dedicating our efforts to winter aid, across the world and here at home,” the group wrote on its website.
“No one should have to go to bed COLD and HUNGRY! And with the coronavirus pandemic looming over what’s sure to be a brutal winter, vulnerable families are going to need our support now more than ever.”
Giving Tuesday, often stylized as #GivingTuesday for the purposes of hashtag activism, refers to the Tuesday after US Thanksgiving in the United States.
It is a movement to create an international day of charitable giving at the beginning of the Christmas and holiday season.
