Tow Truck Driver Uses Tips to Help Homeless

Read the original story at HuffPost: http://bit.ly/2EJNRsS

Daniel Sadler is a tow truck driver who works at All Over Towing in Kernersville, North Carolina. The idea to give back to homeless community members of Kernersville came to him one evening after watching the news. The weather was predicted to drop to 10 degrees that night.

Sadler immediately thought about what would be needed if he were in a similar situation and without shelter. His solution: use his tips from towing each day and buy items to protect homeless community members from the cold.

With forty dollars in tips Sadler started his mission, buying gloves, hats, scarves, water, and other items he thought might be needed.

Sadler sets up shop in the back of his tow truck. He parks in neighborhoods in Kernersville where homeless community members live. With gratitude, people grab what they need from his box of supplies: blankets, socks, mittens, or whatever he is able to purchase that day from tips.

Sadler’s acts of simple kindness have helped many community members of Kernersville. “Sometimes he comes here late at night and brings goods for the homeless,” says Ronald Richardson, one of many grateful community members of Sadler’s generosity. “He’s a nice guy. He’s all about caring for anybody. We’re all people.”

Some days Sadler makes more than forty dollars in tips. Some days he only makes a few dollars. However, he still uses whatever he makes to give back. He believes that you don’t have to have a lot to give a lot and make a big impact. “You don’t need to be wealthy to help anybody,” he says. “You can help somebody with 50 cents. You can help somebody buy a soda — anything helps.”

Acts of simple kindness can be done by anyone and at any time. Sadler proves it doesn’t take a big bank account to make a wealthy community.

Socially Responsible Investing - Balancing Social Values with Financial Goals

Image
In recent times, there has been a growing interest and curiosity in the concept of ‘socially responsible funds’.  This has lead investment companies offering mutual funds and similar financial products to grow their portfolios to better serve their clients. As a way to keep abreast of changing investment habits, as it relates to social values, investment companies recently surveyed potential clients.  The majority of the responses were from women and people under the age of forty-nine.  These responses indicate that investors believe having choices to be socially responsible in their investments is important.  Traditional core tenets still remain the standard, such as to increase long-term profits through positive customer experience, and incorporate high ethical standards.  However, the new socially responsible investor is looking for corporate social responsibility strategies that go beyond the standard.  Investors are looking for companies that have a proven positive social im

The Benefits of Being Kind to Others

Image
The world is not full of bad people. There are quite a few who perform simple acts of kindness to benefit others. In fact, these random acts of kindness that they perform also benefit their own overall health, with or without their knowledge. These are so simple; you can do them too. It is these acts, that add up to your goodwill, which is more contagious than just smiling at the people you see on the street. These are not just random acts, but go a long way in helping you develop a habit of sharing your kindness that has a lot of nurturing as well as healing power. Acts of Kindness Are Ageless Mr. Jacobs, an 80 odd year old man, is a volunteer at a local community college study room, where he helps out students with business math. He has worked in the banking industry for forty years, which helps him tutor students well. The college doesn’t pay him; he simply does it on his own. He says this keeps him younger and sharper. This is something he chose as he did not want to sit id
