“The poor, no matter how destitute, have enormous untapped capacity; find it, be inspired by it, and build upon it.” - Bob Lupton, Toxic Charity
Come learn with us...
When we think of the holiday season, we are stirred to help those in need. A great joy! Churches, nonprofits, and agencies are already gearing up now to facilitate holiday generosity.
But… how can we help in ways that genuinely strengthen people? Some ways of charity can actually become toxic to those we serve – while other much better ways are life-giving, dignifying, and empowering.
Join Amy Jackson, Director of Programs at
Mile High Ministries,
in learning better practices for our holiday good
will.
