By Tom Ashbrook:
"We make a living by what we get," said Winston Churchill. "We make a life by what we give." Some give billions these days -- Bill Gates, Warren Buffett -- and, well, they should for the billions they've made. But we're not all billionaires.
Everyday across the country an informal army of Americans give directly of themselves -- their time, their effort, their love -- for causes great and small, for people who need help.
They come home from work, and go out to give -- at food shelters and hospices and emergency search and rescue. They rebuild lives in this country and whole communities abroad voluntarily because they can.
This hour On Point: stories of giving, giving of oneself, with people who do it -- everyday.
