You Don’t Have to Be Rich to Make A Difference!
Sometimes the smallest gifts can make the most meaningful impact and the simplest acts of kindness can be
life-changing for both the recipient and the giver.
Everyday people like you and me can improve a person’s life or the community we live in. A great book
called, How to Be an EVERYDAY Philanthropist: 330 Ways To Make A Difference In Your Home, Community,
and World At No Cost provides a myriad of ways to get your feet wet in making a difference. Here are a
few ideas for getting started:
•
•
•
•
•
Have an old pair of sneakers? Nike’s Reuse-a-Shoe program will recycle into safe playground
surfaces.
Make a senior’s day by picking up the telephone to say hi.
Smile at people you pass by.
Knit a cap for a pre-mature baby.
Offer a free hug.
Being a philanthropist is easy, it feels good, and best of all it’s contagious. So what are you waiting for,
start today. To learn more about Eskaton Foundation, please contact
Kim Rhinehelder at 916/334-0810 or visit us on line at www.eskaton.org/donations.
