ABOUT GIVE 30
Although I came up with the idea behind Give 30 a number of years ago it took a while to implement. In fact, it would not have happened without the patient hard work, encouragement, advice, ideas, and goading from a group of dedicated friends and family. Mostly, the delay can be attributed to a combination of procrastination and fear that the idea was pie in the sky. Yes, fear of failure delayed this initiative for a while. However, as Henry David Thoreau advises: "If you have built castles in the air, your work need not be lost; that is where they should be. Now put the foundations under them."
So, here I am, building the foundation under my castle. But, I can't do it alone. I need you to build that foundation with me - brick by brick.
While we are fortunate to live in a prosperous and wealthy society, hunger still poses a challenge for some of our neighbours. I find that stark juxtaposition troubling and unacceptable. Canada is an amazing country that offers many of us great opportunities and gifts, but with those gifts and opportunites come responsibilities as well. Each of us can affect change and make a difference in the lives of others, and that can begin right now. Make a donation to the Give 30 Campaign Food Bank of your choice today and get the word out to your networks encouraging them to do their part too.
Thanks for making Give 30 a success.
