Making an Impact

Today is Deloitte IMPACT Day. For one Friday every June, the employees and partners of the entire firm take the day to volunteers in our communities. In past years I have helped beautify a park and taught Junior Achievement to elementary school kids. This year I'm spending the day at Feed My Starving Children (www.fmsc.org) packing MannaPack Rice which is a specially formulated food for the hungriest and poorest people of the world. It makes me incredibly sad that kids are starving when my family's biggest food worry is whether to give Will a banana or graham crackers with his organic milk at snack time.

This is a good day to be thankful for what you have and thankful for what you can give!
