#EverydayPhilanthropist: Kindness in Action
Some people give back by helping to build houses, other people serve meals, and some people knit.
SHARE Charlotte received an unexpected package filled to the brim with hand knitted scarves and hats and no explanation except a simple note that read:
“Share Charlotte, Please give these hats and scared to the homeless and the needy. I am an 88 year old knitter and do not know the charities who can use them. Sincerely, Elaine.”
Elaine is the epitome of an #EverydayPhilanthropist. Elaine used her time and talent for GOOD and is making a huge difference in the lives of the women at YWCA Central Carolinas.
“YWCA Central Carolinas provides transitional housing and supportive services for homeless adult women and families. This thoughtful donation of hand-made scarves and hats will help keep some of our participants warm this winter, but more importantly, it serves as a reminder of the kind generosity of community members, which helps strengthen our programs of service and our community as a whole. Thanks so much to this individual. What an inspiration for us all!”- Rebecca Stickel, Director of Women in Transition.
SHARE Charlotte is constantly inspired by generous acts of GOOD such as Elaine’s and was excited to play even a small part by connecting this #EverdayPhilanthropist to an organization who needed these items most.
