IREM Minnesota Chapter’s Post

We’re celebrating National Volunteer Week! At COUNTRY, serving our community is not just something we do; it’s part of who we are. That’s why we’re dedicated to fostering a culture that allows employees to give back to causes they care about. In 2023, COUNTRY employees donated more than 20,000 hours using their Volunteer Time Off benefit. As we honor National Volunteer Week, we want to hear from you!

There is no better way to commence the weekend than by engaging in community service alongside family. This shared experience not only strengthens our bonds but also instills a sense of purpose and responsibility in each of us. A modest effort in cleaning, sorting, and reorganizing donations for a local thrift store can have a profound impact on our community. Also prepared items for donation to developing countries, we contribute to a larger mission of global support and solidarity. These donations can provide essential resources to those in need, helping to improve their quality of life and offering them opportunities they might not otherwise have. In this way, our small actions can create ripples of change, fostering a sense of community both locally and globally. Engaging in this type of service not only benefits those who receive the donations but also enriches our own lives, teaching us valuable lessons about empathy, gratitude, and the importance of giving back. As we kick off the weekend with this fulfilling activity, we set a positive tone for the days ahead, reminding ourselves of the power of collective action and the joy that comes from helping others. #family #volunteer #church #givingback #community #worldwide #civilserveant #giveback

While financial donations are crucial, there are numerous other impactful ways to support a cause. Volunteering your time can provide direct assistance, whether it's serving meals at a shelter, tutoring students, or helping at fundraising events. Donating goods like clothing, food, or books can meet immediate needs. Raising awareness through social media, community events, or conversations can educate others and inspire action. Advocating for causes by contacting lawmakers, participating in rallies, or signing petitions can bring about systemic change. Let's embrace the many ways we can give back and make a difference. #RedefineGiving #Volunteerism #DonateGoods #RaiseAwareness #Advocacy #MakeADifference #mythbusters #mythvsfact

Isn't it odd that while charities encourage people to discover the joy of volunteering in their community, the justice system uses community service as a punishment? Or that a headline-grabbing policy in what promises to be a gruelling next few weeks is to give 18-year-olds the choice between community service or a year in the army? #Volunteering is a social activity, it broadens the mind and helps the community. But to equate it with punishment and compulsion? Mixed messages! To all who would hold power: how about a serious national conversation about encouraging volunteering across all generations? About how to sustainably support charities with national and local policy to help the most vulnerable in society? Maybe even asking charities what they've learned about, you know, actually solving stuff?

What's Your New Year's Resolution? 🎉 How was your first day of 2025? We hope it was a great one! Now, as we dive into the new year, it's a perfect time to reflect on the resolutions that can make a real difference—both in our lives and the lives of others. For many, New Year's resolutions often focus on self-improvement and personal goals. But what if this year, we also focused on giving back? Volunteering your time, supporting local community services, or making donations to those in need can have a lasting impact. Every small act of kindness can spark big change. ✨ Let’s make 2025 the year we commit to lifting others up and making our communities stronger. How will you make a difference this year? #NewYearsResolution #GiveBack #Community #Volunteer #MakeADifference #WeAreAID
