The Luck of Giving: A St. Patrick's Week Celebration of Charity-My Podcasthon TopPodcastersCharity Event

2025-03-18

Happy St. Patrick’s Day and week! This week as we celebrate shamrocks, leprechauns, and all things Irish, I want to talk about something even more magical than a pot of gold—something that truly brings good fortune into our lives. And that is giving. There’s an old Irish saying: "It is in the shelter of each other that the people live." This simple truth reminds us that life isn’t about luck alone—it’s about looking out for one another, lending a hand, and spreading kindness. And isn’t that the real heart of charity? So today, let’s explore how giving—whether it’s time, resources, or a simple act of kindness—not only helps others but also brings joy, meaning, and even a bit of luck into our own lives. I want to share with you many ideas on how you can give to your community and others around you or far away. I will also highlight how a local nonprofit, Servolution Network in Azle, is making an incredible impact—and how you can be part of it.
