The Offer of Refreshment
…whoever refreshes others will be refreshed. Proverbs 11:25
The people on this list are doing amazing things that we think you would like to know about!
Each year, just after Thanksgiving you begin to get the invitation to give. Either because of “Giving Tuesday” or Year-End giving, this is the time for Non-Profit organizations to get your attention with the benefits of giving to their cause offering you a tax break.
Yes, Beacon People is a Non-Profit and welcomes donations but this time around we have decided to SPOTLIGHT other organizations that we have had the honor and privilege with whom to partner.
And….if your heartstrings are tugged you might consider sending them a gift to keep their good work going.
