David Robinson, one of the best basketball players of all time, fed the homeless through his Feed My Sheep program. He also helped needy families get diapers and baby food through a charity called the Ruth Project.

He thought of this work as life-enhancers rather than sacrifices. “If I’m clutching my money with both hands, how can I be free to hug my wife and kids?” he asked.
