One Generous Day

What could happen if each of us noticed one need and chose to respond?

September 15 is One Generous Day.

One Generous Day is a monthly invitation to practice generosity through the 1+5 Challenge.

Notice one need. Offer five of something you can give.

Look around. Notice a person, place, problem, or possibility that could use something you have to offer.

Then respond.

It doesn't have to be extraordinary or perfect. It simply has to be something you can give.

Notice. Care. Act.

Take the 1+5 Challenge

Notice 1 need. Offer 5 of something you can give.

Five minutes. Five kind words. Five dollars. Five ways to help. Or five of something you have to offer.

You decide what your five will be.
