Editor’s note: Not all organizations participating in Giving Tuesday are listed in this story.

There's a way to spend money and feel good at the same time — and it can be done from the comfort of one's home.

Even though Giving Tuesday is over, nonprofits and organizations from across the nation are still accepting donations, and Muncie groups are no exception.
