As we approach Thanksgiving, a sobering statistic reminds us of the work still to be done: 33% of children in our communities depend on food banks for sustenance. This holiday season, let's leverage our professional networks to make a tangible difference. Businesses and individuals alike can play a pivotal role in addressing child hunger. Here's how you can contribute: • Donate: consider organizing a food drive at your workplace or making a monetary donation to local food banks. • Volunteer: encourage teams to volunteer their time to help sort and distribute donations. • Raise awareness: share insights and start discussions within your networks to highlight the issue of child hunger.

Last week, we had a fabulous visit and full-day workshop with The Salvos in Bourke Street, Melbourne. We learnt that every 17 seconds, someone is helped by the Salvos and at this time of the year, over 3000 meals a week are provided alone at the Bourke Street Project base.  We were also relieved that 100% of our donations is directly transferred to the ongoing care and support projects.  Good can take countless forms, but the aim remains the same — to inspire people to not only believe in good for themselves and work towards that, but also come together and create change that is good for all. After all, that’s what the Salvos do each day. During our workshops throughout the day, we walked through the inner-city of Melbourne and listened to the real stories of community building and healthy positive changes through the work of over 6000 Salvo Soldiers across Australia.  Every day and night, the Bourke Street Project Home is open for all members of the community to visit and create a home. It is so important to consider our own experiences of belonging and the importance of community at this time of the year.  Hope, purpose and fulfillment can be everyone’s story, regardless of our circumstance.  #Thankyou so much for all that all of you are doing to support and work at The Salvos.  #buildingcommunitiesofcare #strenghteningcommunities #festiveseasonspirit #belonging #caringcommunities #givingtoothers
