It is National Give Something Away Day. What will you do today?

This is a special day – National Give Something Away Day. This day was founded by Linda Eaton Hall-Fulcher and started as a grassroots effort because she thought of herself as a “giver”. This day began in 2015 with the idea of encouraging people to be thoughtful and generous while also helping out someone in need.

The Morning Thing shared ideas on how to celebrate and bless others with your generosity.

Click HERE to see how to bless others and the many benefits of giving.
