Hi Reader,

​

It's #GivingTuesday, a time to reach out and give in ways that matter most—whether it's your time, talents, or treasures. Every act of generosity makes a difference. 💗

But with so much happening in the world, it can feel overwhelming to know where to start.

So, where do we start to make a difference?

We start by helping one.

Mother Teresa's words remind us:

• "If you can't feed a hundred people, feed just one."
• "Never worry about numbers. Help one person at a time and always start with the person nearest you."

​

When the world faces hardships, the desire to help grows—but so does the risk of falling into scams.

To give safely and confidently, we recommend Charity Navigator, a trusted resource connecting you with causes that align with your passions.

​

Here are two helpful links:

• Looking for critical issues to support? Where to Give Now​
• Not sure where you want to give? Start here.​

If today isn't the right time, save these links for later. Every thoughtful step toward giving counts.

We hope this helps you navigate the giving season with confidence and care.
