We love because He first loved us. 1 John 4:19
There is no such thing as a small act of kindness. Every act creates a ripple with no logical end.

Creating A Brighter

Ending Hunger - Food is a basic need. It's life sustaining. What if you didn't always have access to enough food for you or your family? What if you had to choose between paying your rent or buying food to feed your children dinner?
