Living by the sea has been truly inspirational for me. Spending hours on the water rowing, sailing, and walking along the coastline has been a source of joy and motivation. Recently, starting the October Dip a day challenge has shed light on the state of our waters. It's clear that action is needed from all of us now more than ever. We all have the power to make a difference. Whether it's through donations, picking up and clearing away garbage, or being mindful of what we put down our drains, each small action contributes to a cleaner environment. This is a call to action - let's all do something to protect our waters. Together, we can create a positive impact. #EnvironmentalAction #ProtectOurWaters

We are focused on helping to build healthier, safer and more resilient, sustainable communities. Here are just four ways in which we do just that: 1. Carrying out volunteering activities. 2. Working with local charities. 3. Providing education and training. 4. Tree planting initiatives.

Join us in making a difference with Optima Living's annual Food Bank Day Challenge! This annual initiative helps build community through compassion and goes beyond donations—it's about uniting to support those in need and spread goodwill. Why is supporting food banks so vital? Across Canada, many struggle with food insecurity. Last year, we donated over 20,000 pounds (about 9300 kg) of food, providing 24,650 meals. This year, we're aiming even higher—30,000 pounds (about 13,600 kg)! Every can and dollar counts, directly helping those in need. Participating means bolstering local economies and strengthening community bonds. From now until September 6th, our Alberta and BC residences will compete to gather the most donations, adding a fun and spirited element to our efforts. Get involved by donating non-perishable food items or a monetary amount at your nearest Optima Living residence. https://lnkd.in/gJYi6NEZ Every contribution, big or small, makes a difference. Together, let's exceed our goals, inspire hope, and create lasting change. Show what the #OptimaWay is all about—compassion, community, and making a positive impact. #OptimaLiving #FoodBankChallenge #CommunitySupport #GivingBack

The Short Version: Ancora Ministries is trying to raise $15,000 this month to buy a 2nd vehicle in Guatemala, and I’m not going to shave until we have what we need. Nobody wants to look at my scruffy mug, so would you consider donating to this campaign? https://lnkd.in/gPshB-eF The Longer Version: We might be on Day #921 of Silly Socks (You’ll find them in the comments.) but it’s Day #7 of No Shave July/Summer/However Long It Takes. If you know me, you know I do silly stuff to being attention to things I think are important. Things like helping Ancora eradicate child hunger & malnutrition in Central Texas and Guatemala. This particular stunt is about the Guatemala part. Guatemala is somewhat spread out, and turns out, it takes multiple teams to serve the 20 communities where Ancora has nutrition programs. Currently we have 2 teams and 1 vehicle to serve a geographic footprint that takes 7 hours to drive from northernmost community to southernmost. We need to buy another used vehicle so that both of our teams can serve their geographic areas. True Story: If we’re going to make a difference in the malnutrition fight, we’re going to need the infrastructure - like personnel and transportation - to do it. This fundraiser is hugely important in helping us serve the kids in our 20 communities, AND it sets us up to continue to add children (and communities) to our programs.
