NEW ORLEANS (WGNO) — Tuesday’s the day.

It’s GiveNOLA Day.

For the last 11 years, GiveNOLA Day has been the day for you to give to help more than 1,000 nonprofits around town.

Why is New Orleans’ Southern Costume closing?

WGNO Good Morning New Orleans features reporter Bill Wood has a look at where some of the money goes.

And this year, GiveNOLA Day hopes to get $8 million.

One of the nonprofits that benefits is ARC of Greater New Orleans.

Another is Cafe Reconcile.
