“Before giving, the mind of the giver is happy; while giving, the mind of the giver is made peaceful; and having given, the mind of the giver is uplifted.”

Giving Tuesday, November 28, is an occasion for us to reflect on the act of giving and think intentionally about how we “give” every day. No act is too small.

For all who give generously to HCF causes, we thank you.
