Are there children and special friends on your gift list?
Want to give them a really awesome gift – one that offers meaning and can also change lives? Now that would be an awesome gift!
Contributions to non-profit organizations, the “care warriors” who work to lessen suffering, are important. But the really good gift is empathy and compassion because that is a powerful force that changes the world.
Here is how you can engage and enlist each family member and friend as a “care warrior” in the army of supporters for a worthy organization:
- Ask them what they care about most – and what they would like to change as a “care warrior” if they could?
- What “care warriors” do they want to support? See the list below for suggestions.
- Then give a contribution in your recipient’s name!
