Giving Tuesday is a day reserved for generosity and giving back to nonprofits and organizations known for helping others.

In this Spotlight Montana we hear from Susan Hay Patrick of the United Way of Missoula on ways to help.

Hay Patrick highlights some of the biggest issues facing the community right now, the work being done to address those issues and how you can help.

If you or someone you know is in need of help this holiday season, you can call 211. It’s a 24-hour link to all of the social services available for those in Missoula, Mineral and Ravalli counties.
