Celeste shared with everyone at the ribbon cutting a few sentences from the book, Toxic Charity (Robert Lupton). “…we have been evaluating our charity by the rewards we receive through service, rather than the benefits received by the served.” Celeste is starting up a book study to help navigate non-profits and businesses to engage in charity work more successfully.
