Good people helping good people. 
I remember the days of the Presidency of John Kennedy, when he and others took it upon themselves to work to alleviate the suffering of many poor and powerless people, from Appalachia to South Africa. I was a kid but felt a pride at being an American.
I don't suppose Dan Bryant would consider running for political office. Humility and hard work really can work miracles.
