One small act of generosity on the part of one caring person can transform the lives of hundreds. It takes only one light to dispel the darkness, and even just one basket or a few, to bring hope! What began more than 30 years ago as Tony's individual effort to feed families in need, has now grown into the Anthony Robbins Foundation's International Basket Brigade, providing baskets of food and household items for an estimated 2 million people annually in countries all over the world. Throughout the year International Basket Brigade volunteers deliver food, clothing, and hope to those who need it most. The Foundation would be honored to have you become a part of this truly wonderful event.Basket Brigade Story One afternoon, a young boy heard a knock at the front door of his family home. He answered and found a man holding a basket full of fixings for a Thanksgiving meal on the other side. The young boy couldn't hide his excitement because he knew his family would not able to afford a meal for the holiday that year. Moments later, the boy's father came into the room to turn the man at the door away because he was too proud to accept handouts. The man at the door did not leave - instead he assured the young boy and his father that the basket was not from him, but from a friend and he was just the delivery person. Upon hearing this, the father had no choice but to accept the gift. The next day, the young boy and his family were able to sit down to a beautiful Thanksgiving meal they would have otherwise gone without. This unconditional expression of love impressed the young boy and he swore that he would do well enough in life to return the favor and pass it on to others. The young boy in the story is Tony Robbins who went on to become a globally recognized Entrepreneur, Author and Peak Performace Strategist. He is also the Founder and President of The Anthony Robbins Foundation. Today, volunteers for his foundation deliver baskets to millions of families around the world every holiday season through his Foundation's grassroots volunteer program, the International Basket Brigade.
