Why We Give...... DonorsResource.org

When I gave away everything I owned, I had some friends, Della Rosenthal & Deborah Waggoner, who had just established Sisters of the Community, the parent nonprofit of DonorsResource.org, come and take everything they could - to give to families who really needed what I had. They are doing such incredible work for the community... it's a win - win for all! I just want to encourage you to let go of material things you are holding on to (it's very freeing) and give to those who could really use them. Here is what the founders have to say..... "Have you thought about why we give? Helping your family, friends and other people is often taken for granted as part of our life, and we forget how wonderful an experience it can be. People always have something to give, but they don't know how and where. There is a huge communication gap between people's desire to give and what low-income families need to have. Please think about it. On one hand, you have three blankets, an air mattress in your closet and you barely use them. On the other hand, there are kids sleeping on the floor with no blankets. You have plates and pots in your kitchen cabinet and the last time you used them was three years ago. There are mothers who do not have the pots and plates they need to feed their children. What a gap. Please review what you have in your kitchen, bathroom, closets, living room, bedroom, and basement. Think about who may need these items. Imagine how excited they will be by receiving these items. Then visit our website and directly connect with nonprofits that need what you have. You'll be surprised how fun and moving the process will be." Please.... pass on the love! Your friend, Juli
