"Charity begins at home, but should not end there." ~ Sir Francis Bacon Today, November 15th, we are celebrating National Philanthropy Day: for 43 years, the Central Okanagan Foundation has been empowering generations to give, leaving a legacy that will allow future generations to thrive in vibrant, healthy, and creative communities. ... National Philanthropy Day recognizes the history and trust placed in us to steward the generosity of our donors, as we address and respond to the ever-changing needs of the organizations and projects we support. More than 80 percent of Canadians plan to make a charitable donation in 2020, or already have, and this day recognizes the great contributions of philanthropy and those people active in the philanthropic community to the enrichment of our world.

Today is World Kindness Day, a great day to perform one random act of kindness, here are a few ideas: https://www.randomactsofkindness.org/world-kindness-day
