Genuine Generosity
sometimes we miss the chance for generosity.
There are different reasons: time, energy, or a lack of knowing who or how to help. All of these roadblocks are preventing us from being able to experience the true joy of being generous.
THE BIG GIVE exists to help remove all the hurdles keeping you from being able to help those in need.

What does the Bible say about generosity?
We believe God invites us to have a heart of Genuine Generosity.
The Lord calls for us to be generous (1 Timothy 6:18), to help those in need (Matthew 25:40), to give from a gracious heart, without expectation of reward or return (2 Corinthians 9:7). In doing so, we honor God, not only by following His Word but by allowing His love to be clearly shown to those around us (2 Corinthians 9:11).
Everyone matters to God whether God matters to them or not.

“I was watching my kids leave for school this morning with all new nice-looking backpacks, new reliable shoes, and new clean clothes. I couldn’t help but thank God and pray for you guys. Thank you so much for helping kids start school looking confident and feeling fresh. Thank you for being a real human and doing good on Earth.”
– Chrissy’s Closet Parent
