"Real generosity toward the future lies in giving all to the present." --Albert Camus
The Monday Night Soup Master
For some, Monday night is about football. For others, it's dance class or a favorite television sitccom. But for Richard Semmler, it's an evening of soup and service. After serving Thanksgiving dinner at a homeless shelter one year, Richard Semmler thought, "Why not serve every week?" Since that fateful day ten years ago, Semmler, a mathematics professor, has been a steady Monday-night anchor at his local soup kitchen. He lives modestly and even works two additional jobs so he can earn enough money to give away half his income every year!
BE THE CHANGE
This month, spend one night each week serving your community.
