We often hear people say they want to make a difference, but they feel overwhelmed, underprepared, or unsure of where to start. Many believe impact has to be big, loud, or public to count. But the truth is, the world is changed through small acts long before it is changed through grand gestures. The entire mission behind the Little Give TV Show is built on this simple idea: One small act of kindness from one person can become a life-changing blessing for someone else.
The Little Give TV Show began as a heartfelt way to highlight ordinary people doing extraordinary things. Over the years, through the show, the podcast, and community outreach, I have witnessed one truth over and over again: Big change always starts with small kindness.
The heart of the Little Give TV Show is not about money or status. It is about intention. It is about noticing the moment when someone needs support, encouragement, guidance, or hope and choosing to step in. The show exists to celebrate the people who do these things every day, people who give a small piece of themselves and end up creating something much bigger.
On the Little Give TV Show, we see this every single week. People share stories of a moment when someone else showed up for them. People talk about the individuals and nonprofits that changed their lives. We witness the ripple effect of kindness in real time. These stories remind us that anyone can be part of something meaningful. You do not need a title or a platform. You only need a willingness to care.
Why the Little Give TV Show matters
People often underestimate the impact of a single kind moment because they cannot always see where it leads. But behind every story shared on the Little Give TV Show is a deeper truth.
There is a single parent who needed encouragement to keep going, a nonprofit founder who needed someone to spotlight their mission, a child who needed someone to listen, and a community member who needed a reminder that they matter.
Every time a story is aired on the Little Give TV Show, someone watching is reminded that kindness still exists. Someone learns that they are not alone. Someone is inspired to be more compassionate in their own life. That is why the show matters. It is not entertainment, it is connection. It is community. It is hope in action.
And perhaps the most important part is this: Little acts of kindness inspire more acts of kindness. The Little Give TV Show makes that visible. It shows how one small gesture can spark another and then another. That is how movements begin. Not with a single giant gesture, but with countless small ones stacked together.
How FORCE Magazine amplifies the mission
When I created FORCE Magazine, I wanted to build more than a publication. I wanted to build a platform that lifted people up and created opportunities for those doing important work. FORCE Magazine has become a best-selling international publication, but its heart has always remained rooted in service.
One of the most meaningful commitments we made was to give every nonprofit free space to share their mission, no cost, no barrier, no red tape. Just an open invitation to shine a light on the work they do for others.
Nonprofits run on passion. They run on volunteers, tight budgets, and enormous heart. Most do not have advertising budgets or marketing teams. Many operate quietly, even though their work is changing lives every day.
That is why FORCE Magazine chose to offer free space to nonprofits in every edition. We want their stories to be seen. We want their missions to grow. We want their impact to reach beyond their zip code.
A single article in FORCE Magazine can lead to donations, partnerships, volunteers, and visibility that changes the trajectory of an organization. Just like the Little Give TV Show, FORCE Magazine serves as a reminder that kindness grows when it is seen.
Little gives create forces of change
When people witness the impact of small kindnesses, it changes the way they move through the world. That is the soul of the Little Give TV Show. It builds stronger communities. It restores hope. It reminds people that they are connected in more ways than they realize.
Some people ask where to start. The answer is always the same: Start with what you have. Start with the small moment in front of you. Start with the person who needs a little encouragement. You never know how far that one gesture will reach or how deeply it may matter.
