BUFFALO, N.Y. — The Tuesday following Thanksgiving is known as "Giving Tuesday," a day set aside to remind people to give back to organizations that help others during the holiday season.
It's always an important day at Community Missions in Niagara Falls, which recognizes the day in a variety of ways. Students from Niagara University and local high schools volunteer by serving breakfast and lunch, as well as decorating and wrapping presents.
