Welcome to the weekend, and welcome to the Saturday 7.
Some invitations simply change the calendar. Others change the course of a life. Long before joining the NCF Houston team, when Brandon Lackey (above, center) was fresh out of college, his new in-laws extended an invitation that introduced him to a world of generosity he didn’t know existed. Decades later, that moment still echoes through his family’s story.
Read how one seed of generosity, planted early, has grown into a way of life that spans generations.
