As we approach Dec. 3, our annual celebration of Giving Tuesday , I’m reminded of the tremendous impact that giving back has on both individuals and communities.
Giving Tuesday offers each of us the opportunity to unite in service, showing up for those who need it most. This movement, now global in scope, challenges us to use our resources — whether time, money or expertise — to make the world a better place.
I’m deeply committed to this mission as a board member of several organizations, including One Step Beyond, which aims to empower individuals with intellectual disabilities and neurodiverse populations.
Through my work with OSBI and other worthy nonprofit organizations, I have witnessed the transformative power that volunteerism has not only on the individuals we serve but also on those who give their time and talents.
There are countless organizations in our communities that need our support — each one making a difference in its own unique way. One Step Beyond’s mission is to provide life-changing programs that help individuals with intellectual disabilities achieve meaningful employment, build social relationships and fully participate in society.
