Giving Tuesday takes place each year on the first Tuesday after Thanksgiving and it is made up of initiatives to help communities and the families that embody them. The 2024 event fell on December 3. Based in New York, Giving Tuesday originated in 2012 in an attempt to encourage people to do good things. Since then, the global program says it has tracked initiatives in every country and territory worldwide, with more than 100 countries hosting official Giving Tuesday events, according to a Giving Tuesday spokesperson.
Established in 1968, Peoples Bank has 12 locations in the Texas Panhandle, North Texas, Central Texas and the Dallas/Fort Worth metroplex.
