Giving Back is More Important Than Ever

| | Comments (42)



Whether it's dropping money in the Salvation Army red bucket or buying an extra toy to give to a child. We are all reminded that this time of year is the season of giving. But what happens when the holidays are over?

Many years ago my Father took me to Martha's Table in Washington D.C to spend a Saturday helping prepare food. At the time I behaved like a complete brat. I huffed and puffed because I would have rather spent my afternoon playing in the park like a normal child. My Father never took me back to Martha's Table after that because of how terribly I behaved, but looking back I understand and appreciate the significance of that moment.


To have a vital impact and break the cycle we must be consistent in our commitment to improve the quality of life for others year round. For the thousands of people in this country without a roof over their head, nutritious food, education, and adequate medical resources, their needs surpass the months of November and December. 

We must invest in our communities in order to strengthen the future of the nation. Think of the children from families that suffer from starvation, job loss, and lack of education. What kind of future do these kids have? How will they contribute back to society when they become adults? Remember the people in our lives that held us up when we needed it most to inspire you in your journey of service. The web is a great resource for finding different forms of charity to get involved in. Remember to whom much is given, much is required.


 

Here are some great organizations to get involved with.
