Giving Feels Good
I’m always thrilled to hear that people look forward to receiving and reading this issue each year. Centered on giving, I love that so many individuals have the heart to want to help others, and we’re more than happy to round up some of the many ways it can be done right here in Berks.
Looking for some giving inspiration? Meet four local “doers” on page 29. Giving is a lifestyle for each of them — from creating what’s become a huge Christmas toy drive to benefit children in need to starting pop-up meal fundraisers in our local communities, they do so much and are more than happy to do it.
Sometimes you have to look inside and realize the first person you need to help is yourself. It’s not selfish. When we can work to put our best selves forward, it better enables us to help others. This is perfectly demonstrated in Habitat for Humanity of Berks County’s First-Time Home Buyer Program. Learn more on page 42.
Looking for a local nonprofit organization that resonates with you? We’ve got you covered. Check out the profiles starting on page 34.
Also inside this issue, don’t forget to flip through our Newcomer’s Guide supplement if you’re new to Berks County or even if you’re just looking to discover something new to you.
Finally, don’t forget to take time to adopt a new earth-friendly habit this month in honor of Earth Day on Monday, April 22.
