Whatever your position in the company, you can encourage your company towards love and good deeds – to be a corporate donor of Care Community Services Society (CCSS). Here are two ordinary people in the marketplace who have done just that.

Don’t make a difference – make YOUR difference! Have you ever wondered why you do what you do? You may be a banker, engineer, politician, manager, caregiver, receptionist, personal assistant, or homemaker. Do you ask why you have been placed in that job? I do. I asked such questions. And now I know the answers: ✔ I believe that God has the best plans for me and nothing ever happens to me without God’s approval. ✔ Wherever I am, there is an opportunity for me to be a blessing to others. ✔ We are called not just to preach the word of God but to show the love of Christ through our everyday life; through the works of our hands, the way we interact and connect with people. Who knows if perhaps you were made _____ (insert your job) for just such a time as this? - Esther 4:14b
Here’s how you can make YOUR difference! ✔ Be an advocate of CCSS wherever you are. Tell others about the charity, and what it does. ✔ Suggest, speak up and encourage your employer or company to do something for the needy through CCSS ✔ Rally your department or colleagues to get together and make a difference to a needy family or child. ✔ Don’t know where to start? For ideas and resources, just drop us an email or give us a call!
