I run my own business and one way that I can give back to the community it by providing options to my customers to help support the local food pantry. I know many close people who have been in need.
We as people all have some type of label we have been called...However no label will define me! I AM a person who likes to give back!

Lunenburg, MA
United States
I am raising my children in the kind of household that I wish I had grown up in: safe, loving, stable and nurturing.
Labels allow people to prejudge others. I wear my 'labels' externally to push back against other people's assumptions, and want to encourage others to do the same. Being accepted for who you really are, and not how others want you to be, is empowering and gratifying.
South Hadley, MA

I feed the homeless on my way home from work weekly. As a single mom I know how it feels to go hungry. Nobody should have to experience that.
We have the right to be judgmental but what is the need to? Everyone has a story & we should treat each other with love & respect.
Enfield, CT

I volunteered for an animal rescue group as well as first hand rescued and found homes for many animals injured, living on street, or both.
It's amazing to me in this day and age when the majority of people are tattooed there is still an assumption by some that those with tattoos are bad people.

I make sure to ask everyone how they are and show that I am listening by following up and checking in about the things they share with me. Showing people they really matter goes a long way to lifting spirits, instilling optimism, and creating communities. I do this good deed everyday with everyone.
I work with high school students who struggle with issues of identity confusion, sexual orientation, gender confusion, popularity, mental illness, the list goes on. The most common thing I hear from these students is fear of loneliness and isolation.
