The Act of Giving Back

The Act of Giving Back

Dr. J.T. “Dock” Houk is a philanthropic leader and an originator in the field of fundraising. His selfless character and dedication to helping those around him has helped him with all of his achievements throughout his career. Not everyone has the ability or character to become involved in charity work and it takes a special kind of person to help others who are in need.


Charity work can come in all shapes and sizes and is the act of giving of money, goods or time to those who are less fortunate. It is easy for people to get caught up in their own everyday lives and to face their obstacles in life, but taking a step back and helping out those who have far greater problems and less to survive on is an honorable act. The most basic forms of charity work include providing essential necessities such as food, water, healthcare and shelter but it can extended to far greater measures. There is no right or wrong or too much or too little to the amount each individual can give back to another person, family or community. Helping those around you should be something we all practice and do our part in to make our world a better place to live.
