What do you do to give back?

In 1990 after finishing college I wound up being hired for a non profit and since then it’s set me on a path of service. I have always worked for a non profit and find it immensely rewarding and I am hoping that means I am also helping. For me a few highlights was my part in the creation of a youth group back in mid 90s that is going strong today as a full fledged non profit. In 2010 I had a woman come in to volunteer for the non profit I worked at and found out she and her husband were living in a broken mobile home in a trailer park. She was only really volunteering because she needed a place to go during the day that was warm and might provide a meal. After a few months I was able to hire her as my administrative assistant and then from there she became my property manager and we got her into affordable housing, which she and her husband still enjoy today. Finally during the pandemic I was working on health and wellness in NYC and as the restaurants and catering places closed down , someone got my name and people started to drop off food before it went bad. I created a phone tree and soon as people lost their jobs, they were able to come to us for food. I got some grants and was able to use come funding to purchase shelf stable items, fresh fruits and vegetables as well as already made items that just needed to be heated up. 4 years later and we are still going strong. Finally, when my sister in law became addicted to meth, my spouse and I took guardianship of her two children. Moved out of our one bedroom condo in the heart of the city and to the suburbs for a larger house and better schooling. For 3 years we raised the kids while their mom got better and was able to make some really positive moves in her life. Today the kids are young adults, seemingly happy, and my sister in law is the CEO of her own company and makes more than my spouse and I combined. I just want to leave the Earth a little better than when I arrived and maybe that means helping a few people here and there.
