The Power of Giving

Dear Friend, 

When was the last time you gave someone a small gift or helped somebody out in some way? Not only did that
action probably make the recipient smile ear-to-ear, but we imagine it also felt pretty great for you too! That’s because
giving to others is much more powerful than you may think.

This month, we’re focusing on the power that giving holds. You’ll learn the science behind why giving feels so great and
how exactly it affects your health and well-being. Additionally, you’ll find easy ways to start giving back through various
apps and activities that can get your friends involved, too. We will also share five things to give away that won’t cost a
dime but will surely make someone’s day!

With Thanksgiving in the air, giving back to others is more important than ever right now. We hope you’ll take full
advantage of the tips provided in this month’s piece and find ways that you can give back, especially at this time of year.

In the spirit of giving, Schocker Weigers REALTORs are excited to be making a donation to
*The Greater Pittsburgh Food Bank* on behalf of our fabulous clients.

Just $1 provides 5 nutritious meals to our neighbors in need. We are humbled & grateful
to have this opportunity to give back to our community.

We hope you have a safe and wonderful Thanksgiving!

Sincerely,

Michelle and Ruth, and the entire Schocker Weigers Realtors team
