The February Giving Up To Give totals are in, and together we gave $453.81! Combined with January's $500, we are so close to Giving Up To Give $1000. That is amazing! See what we are doing together? I don't think any of us on our own would be able to send $1000 to Giving Back to Africa. But when we all Give Up in community, our small gifts make a big difference.
Thank you so much for Giving Up To Give with us. Our March calendar is filled, but we need help with April (and the months beyond that). If you have already taken a day to Give Up, would you consider another one? If you have been waiting to join us, now is the time! Remember, it doesn't matter what you Give Up--it can be small or large, for a day, a week, or even a month. Your small (and large) acts of Giving Up are making an impact.

Brown Bag Lunches
Throughout the Lenten season, Kim Herbertz is Giving Up To Give two lunches a week. Instead of eating out she will be packing her own lunch and donating the money she saves to Giving Back To Africa. The season of Lent is a time to willingly remove things from your life in order to create space for reflection, slowing down, and reorienting your perspective to things that are eternal. We appreciate Kim choosing to combine this age old practice with involvement in Giving Up To Give.
"I'm giving up eating lunch out during Lent. It is usually once or twice a week. I hope the funds saved can be used to further the mission of Giving Back to Africa. This is for our wonderful granddaughter, Lila" --Kim
What about you? Could you Give Up something in your life for a short time? Would you find that you not only have money To Give, but that you also have more space for reflection and a perspective that is realigned to what matters most in your life?
