Community Care in Action: All In When I was in a nursing home, one organization quietly stood out—All In Monterey County. They didn’t seek recognition but brought light when it was most needed. All In provided donations like clothes, earrings, and essentials, restoring dignity to residents who had so little. I’ll never forget gathering over 40 bags of clothing with their help, ensuring everyone had something that brought comfort and joy. But All In’s work went beyond the walls of the nursing home. They shared resources that continue to help me even now, reminding me of the power of community care and compassion. To the angels at All In: Thank you. Your kindness and action saved me when I felt forgotten. You are proof that when we come together, we can create ripples of healing and hope. This is the kind of world we need—a world where we uplift the vulnerable, honor dignity, and foster true connection. About All In Monterey County All In is a compassionate organization that provides: • The Giving Market: Non-perishable goods for humans and pets (Tuesdays and Fridays, 4:30–6:00 PM, Marina High School). • The Kindness Closet: Hygiene items, household goods, toys, and clothing (available in emergencies). • Grocery Deliveries: Weekly deliveries to families in Salinas, Seaside, Marina, and nearby areas. • Food Drives: Weekly distributions at Monterey Peninsula College (Wednesdays, 4:00–6:00 PM). Learn more at allinmonterey.org. All In’s work is a reminder that change happens when we lead with compassion. #LaurenSpeaksUp #PeopleOverProfit #KindnessMatters #CompassionFirst #DignityForAll #HealingTogether #AdvocacyMatters #CommunityCare #NoCountryForOldPeople #SystemicNeglect #FightingForChange #AllInMatters Martha L.

Holidays can be a great time to demonstrate your commitment to the community. The Obama family helped illustrate this commitment in the photo below. Thanksgiving and the Christmas season can be holidays that many can reach out to assist others celebrate the holiday and also get closer to various segments of the community. Participating in parades is another way to get involved in community events and are opportunities to be recognized in the community. You also have a chance to network with others who are also participants. Holiday events may also allow for opportunities to speak to audiences. It's important to know your audience prior to speaking and draft speeches that will reach the audiences. Short speeches may be the best speeches in these cases. #holidaygiving #holidaycelebrations #givingbacktothecommunity #barackobama #diversity #blackleaders

Food pantries may distribute food, but their true purpose goes far beyond that—they exist for people. The greatest asset in any food pantry isn’t the food on the shelves, but the people who give their time, energy, and love to serve others. It’s through investing in these individuals—whether they are volunteers or those in need—that real transformation happens. When we pour into people, we build more than just sustenance; we build hope, trust, and a sense of community. The food may fill stomachs, but it’s the people who uplift spirits and change lives. By empowering those who serve and those who are served, we create a ripple effect of transformation that reaches far beyond a single meal. The true investment is in the human soul, and through that, we transform lives, one person at a time.

Please spread the word.

Watch this short video to understand what I want to fundraise for, it’s an incredible charity working to serve those in need. https://lnkd.in/eSjyVYmQ https://lnkd.in/e6Fzw27N
