365 Days of Giving
365 Days of Giving
Our MissionWe are embarking on an adventure! For each of the 365 calendar days of 2012, we plan to give to others in some capacity whether small or large. We believe the practice of giving instills a grateful spirit, a sense of fulfillment, a connection with others and a desire to do more. Giving also inspires greater personal awareness- awareness of how much we already have and awareness of how much we are regularly given. Daily giving also creates a fun challenge to find creative, economical and personal ways to give. Our goal is to invest in others, our families, friends, co-workers and our communities by reaching out to give. Our ultimate goal is to inspire others in the spirit of giving. Please join us on our adventure! In the New Year ask…
"What will I GIVE today?"
How this came about...
The idea came about in 2009 after my friend Heather and I both came to work and shared stories of how we had each individually given to someone in the previous couple of days. The people we gave to were surprised, encouraged and thankful. We felt grateful and inspired for having the opportunity to give. That sparked the creation of 365 Days of Giving. My company was excited to join me and agreed to participate with a monthly “Giving Drive”. Each month we collected various items to give to charities and those in need. Through giving, we found a new awareness and appreciation for all that we personally have. Our spirit of gratitude became even greater!
What inspires us?
Our belief is that gratitude creates a sense of abundance and that feeling of grateful abundance creates a desire to give.
