What advice do you have for those interested in giving back?

"Many hands make light work.  There is always something you can do to give back.  Maybe it's time, maybe it's money, maybe it's sharing an idea.  Maybe it's just as simple as teaching your kids to pick up their trash instead of throwing it on the ground. Or as simple as sending a heartfelt message to your child's teacher.  We can all contribute and we all should contribute. We’re in this together."

Bess supports the following:
