Know what is it all about – 30 volunteers from the Personal Development Las Vegas coaching center delivered more than 29,000 items of food, personal hygiene products, and school supplies collected during a 4-hour Giver Game make-a-difference stretch on Saturday. Giver Game is a volunteer philanthropy project developed by ChoiceCenter Worldwide University that is the “Amazing Race” version of charitable giving.
The items were collected for students at Pat Diskin Elementary School by the Personal Development Las Vegas coaching center where more than 70% of the school’s children live below the poverty line or in shelters. Many rely on the school to provide for their basic needs, with a group receiving one backpack a week with enough food to support their entire family. With local funding running out for this program, Giver Game volunteers collected enough items to get them through the end of the year, and beyond.
To collect the items, the Personal Development Las Vegas Center volunteers reached out to friends, family, and local businesses for support. Proving that it doesn’t take a lot of time or money to make a difference, no donation was larger than $100 in 4 hours.
