I see the difference we are making in so many lives and it’s incredible. Giving back is something I watched my parents do when I was young, and it stuck with me. I also worked for one of the most generous leaders in Dave Thomas at Wendy’s and admired his lessons.Advice for a young philanthropist: Give what you can to help who you can.Why CSS? Our focus on families and seniors is so important, especially in today’s world. Although some people think we only help Catholics, it’s beautiful to share with friends and colleagues that we actually help anyone in need, just as the bible encourages us. We are creating hope and dignity for many.
