What is caring and why does it matter?
Caring is showing a genuine concern for the welfare of others and being a kind, supportive helper.
“Tragedies happen every day and test our strength and resilience; but great things happen when communities come together, caring for one another.” Jared Bradford, Spokane Valley Firefighters’ Benevolent Association. PACE guest columnist December 2017.
“Each moment we put ourselves aside and think of others, the large community we live in becomes much smaller place and gives us a sense of community!” Wendy Van Orman, PACE Board Member and guest columnist December 2019.
