Why Should You Be a Part of Altrusa?As an individual, you can contribute a few school supplies, a couple of canned goods, a book for a child, or a single item to someone in need. These small acts of kindness matter and can make a difference. But imagine what we could accomplish together. Together, we have the power to create a lasting impact on our community. When we unite our efforts, we can provide so much more than we ever could on our own. From filling school backpacks with supplies to stocking local food pantries and supporting those in need, the possibilities are endless when we work as one. Joining Altrusa means becoming part of something bigger—a movement dedicated to making a meaningful difference. Be a part of the change, and together, let’s leave a lasting imprint on our community. Join us today. Let’s create an impact—together!
Richardson ISD Kindness Week
During RISD “Kindness Week” we sponsored Third, fourth and fifth graders from 18 RISD elementary schools, who have Altrusa Choose Kind Libraries, to hear a book review by Meredith Davis, a Richardson native who graduated from Berkner High School. Meredith, co-author of “Her Own Two Feet”, visited schools through the week reaching Over 1,600 children who were thrilled to hear her presentation and asked so many interesting questions. Each school had butterflies the children had decorated hanging all over the halls and libraries as Meredith believes we can all “be strong like a butterfly”. The book and her presentation illustrates how little acts of kindness can multiply into wonderful life events, if you are only willing to take that one chance to change your life. Choose Joy and Kindness everyday!

Choose Kind Libraries making a positive impact Altrusa International! Think Kindness helped connect Altrusa Richardson with Hogaricito San Juan Bosco, a small orphanage in La Fortuna, Costa Rica, to receive their own Choose Kind Library. Through this collaboration and through funding provided by Altrusa Richardson's Outstanding Women of Today Luncheon fundraiser and a grant provided by Altrusa International Foundation, Altrusa Richardson purchased 65 Spanish language books which were shipped to Think Kindness so they could take them to the orphanage in October 2023 while their global team was there. The video above expresses the heartfelt gratitude and global impact Altrusa has made - One Book at a Time! To date, Altrusa Richardson has sponsored 24 local and 12 international Choose Kind Libraries. |
