Earlier this month Gretchen and her family Gave Up eating a family dinner out and instead chose to dine in. Though just one meal, the money they saved is more than enough to pay a GBA teacher's salary for a month, or help to fund one of the amazing Community Service Actions the students are doing. Just one meal, but a huge impact. Here's why they chose to join Giving Up To Give:
" The main reason that we chose to Give Up a family dinner out is because we truly enjoy helping other people and knowing who we are helping. It is so easy to go spend $50 on a dinner out, but that $50 could go a very long way for those who do not have what we do. I also think it is important to involve our children in Giving to those who are less fortunate than we are. I think it influences them to continue to do these things in life, and I have seen it have a positive impact on my 9 year old son."
Thanks Gretchen and family! We hope others are inspired by your choice to Give Up To Give.
