Author Charles Dickens created memorable characters who live in poverty but still find ways to help others. Dickens explained, saying, “No One Is Useless in This World Who Lightens the Burdens of Another.”

The Genesis Day of Giving on Nov. 19 is a generosity-driven effort to lighten the burdens and remove the barriers to improved health in the region.

 Flu-Free Quad Cities: Fund covers free flu vaccinations for elementary school children in the Quad Cities area

Nursing Scholarships: Fund provides nursing scholarships for aspiring nurses
