Did you know that generous people are 25% happier? 


“Generosity is the most natural outward expression of an inner attitude of compassion.” - Dalai Lama


Did you know that generosity can also make you healthier?


Research shows that acts of giving can boost your mood, lower blood pressure, and even increase your lifespan! Imagine that—a simple act of kindness is like a superpower for your body and soul.


But why does this happen?


When we help others, our brains release "feel-good" chemicals like dopamine and oxytocin. These chemicals create a sense of happiness and well-being.  It's like giving your brain a hug!

 

What can you do?


Donate: Every dollar counts. Your contribution helps transform lives. A $1,400 gift helps take someone off the streets and gives them a second chance.


Rally: Get a group of friends, family and co-workers to raise funds to give someone a home for the holidays and beyond.


Get a Matching Donation: Some employers will match your gift.  Check on our home page!


Spread the word: Share our mission with your friends and family. Let's multiply the impact!

 

So, the next time you're feeling down or stressed, try doing something generous. It could be as simple as donating to a charity or helping a neighbor.


You might be surprised at just how much better you feel!
