Oprah Winfrey Show has Another Charitable Moment

If you ever get the chance to be part of the studio audience at the Oprah Winfrey Show, you might just receive a credit card from the entertainment show host with a whopping US 1,000 dollars on it to give to one person or spread among various charities of your choice! Recently, Winfrey did this for each person in her audience. She called the show her ?favorite giveaway ever? and described it as the ?gift of giving back?.

?I can honestly say that every gift I?ve ever given has brought at least as much happiness to me as it has to the person I?ve given it to. That?s the feeling I want to pass on to you. You?re going to open your hearts, you?re going to be really creative, and you?re going to spend it all at once on one stranger or spend a dollar on every person,? said the entertainment icon. In addition to the credit cards packed with money, audience members also received a DVD recorder to tape their stories for a future show.

The opportunity to give back to the community is always available to people all over the globe. It doesn?t take US 1,000 dollars on a credit card to do good deeds in your community. It?s always comforting to see entertainment stars and leaders giving back to the people who admire and support them, they truly have the power to do a great deal of good in the world. But everyday deeds that help others are just as big and important as large amounts of money handed out by superstars.
