Today's Kindness #497: September 5, 2025
🙌 It's A Day Of Charity 🙌
September 5 is recognized as International Day of Charity, a global celebration of generosity and compassion. Originally launched in Hungary to commemorate the passing of Mother Teresa, the holiday was adopted by the United Nations in 2012 as a way to honor her legacy of service and to encourage charitable action around the world.
This day reminds us that charity comes in many forms. You don't have to make a large financial donation to make a difference. Volunteering your time, sharing resources, raising awareness, or even buying gifts that support charitable causes are all meaningful ways to give back. Simple acts of kindness can alleviate suffering, strengthen communities, and create a more inclusive and resilient society.
✨ How To Celebrate:
Give From The Heart
Support a local nonprofit or international charity that matters to you. Even small donations add up to big change.
Volunteer Your Time
Offer your skills or lend a hand at a food bank, shelter, or community project. Your time is one of the most valuable gifts you can give.
Support Charitable Businesses
Consider buying from companies that give back. Many businesses donate a portion of their profits to causes that need support.
Practice Everyday Charity
Hold the door open, check in on a neighbor, or offer a kind word. Even the smallest acts of generosity can brighten someone's day.
"It's not how much we give but how much love we put into giving."
~ Mother Teresa
