ECCU Give Ten Generosity Challenge

We are a giving family. We always have been. My kids love giving as much as they can each year. We give toys, food, money, time and more.

We just completed the best challenge for our family. We spent $30. Each child got $10 to do something special for someone who could use it.

My son paid for the food of a man at Waffle House who was homeless. He also spent the extra money on a sandwich for the guy to have later. My 10 year old got ten ones and gave money to several kids at school to buy themselves a treat. My youngest put her $10 in the tip jar at Starbucks because she said that they deserve. I think that each child made a great choice.

GIVE TEN GENEROSITY CHALLENGE

With the #GiveTen Generosity Challenge, ECCU is hoping to create a simple movement of people living out their faith by loving others like Christ loves us. $10 at a time. At the start of the season of giving, now is the time where offering thanks and helping others is top of mind. How would you spend $10 to do the most good for someone else? The choices are as unlimited as the blessings God provides for us.

Will you buy the drink for the person behind you?
Donate to a cause you are passionate about?
Buy flowers to thank an unsung hero?

Embrace the #GiveTen Generosity Challenge by taking $10 and spending it in the most direct and creative way to help others. Share your own stories of giving on the ECCU Facebook page for a chance to be blessed with a $500 check from ECCU to bless their own family or to continue blessing others.
