Memorial Day is a time to reflect on how far we’ve come, but more importantly, to remember how we got here. The freedom that we enjoy every day did not always belong to us – we had to fight for it.
Chive Charities is committed to providing financial support to those who defend us. When our veterans have nowhere to turn, they turn to us.

One community answers the call for a veteran in need (15 Photos)
Some could argue that the desire to serve your country is something you learn. But for others, it’s in their blood. A fierce streak of patriotism that cannot be channeled in any way but to stand on the front line, an innate aspiration towards greatness that cannot be explained…

This is Hannah’s story. The story of a girl who has listened to people tell her what she can’t do her entire life… and then proved them all wrong.

As all Chivers know, the community we have built stands on four pillars: Hotness, Humor, Humanity, and Heroes. Those first two might turn you into a fan of the site, but the last two will turn you into a Chiver for life. This week we challenge you to a Kindness competition. With Valentine’s Day in our sights, try treating a complete stranger with the same courtesy you would a loved one… and see what happens.

This month marks the 3rd birthday of Chive Charities! We decided to celebrate by launching the #50inFifty campaign.
If you had told us three days ago what was going to happen… we wouldn’t have believed you. Chive Nation, you’ve done it again.
