So I gave this little interview last month - with United Way of Pierce County. I have been serving on a fundraising committee with my former company in Tacoma for the last 3-4 years and had worked with them on the campaigns to raise funds.
My gratitude for today for serving others. We have a responsibility as a human race to care for others less fortunate. It doesn't take much - the equivalent of a cup of coffee a month (a Starbucks premium drink, but still - a cup of coffee). If only 60% of the able-bodied population of Pierce County were able to give a $5.00 donation, or their time once a month- every month, it would generate over $40M in funds to support the homeless, hungry, poor, low-income seniors, mentally ill and veterans, who need the community services to survive.
I am grateful for all of the services that I received over the years myself from the United Way or YWCA, the Catholic Community Services, the HopeLink, or Multi-Service Centers, and many others. Give back and pay it forward when you can.
