International Samaritan is hosting an online celebration to honor all the work done to help those in poverty. People are given the chance to leave encouraging messages, and hear and tell inspiring stories of people who are making a difference.
"Sometimes, it is easy to get distressed by all of the bad news out there, so we thought it fitting that we take a day to celebrate and honor all of the good work that is being done by people in our community, state and across the nation," said International Samaritan Vice President of Operations Andrew Pawuk. "Our goal is to give everyone a chance to show how they are making a small difference to change the lives of someone in need."
