Why do you give?
You don't have to be a world leader or a billionaire to give back.
Giving Tuesday is about ordinary people coming together to do extraordinary things.
Every day, leading up to December 1, this blog will feature Forum staff, board and volunteers as they share their reasons for giving.
In today's video, the Forum’s Board President, Sol Flores shares her#MyGivingStory.
Sol is Executive Director of La Casa Norte (LCN), a community-based organization founded in 2002. La Casa Norte serves youth and families confronting homelessness and since opening its doors has helped more than 20,000 homeless and at-risk individuals.
Sol gives to the Forum because the organization's values match her own. #GivingTuesday is more than one day in December. Pledge to do more. This year, how will you give?
