Giving back locally is a great way to show appreciation for the life-enhancing work area organizations are doing for the improvement of community life. By doing so, you're not only declaring you are proud to be a member of the community in which you live; but in fact, you're living out honorable traits that sharpen effective habits. It's what financial stewardship is all about.
