We are proud to announce that our CEO, Christofer Catania, is again supporting the Vinnies CEO Sleepout. Taking place on the 20th of June this initiative raises awareness and funds for individuals experiencing homelessness. This year marks Chris’ fifth participation, highlighting his ongoing commitment to positively impacting our community. The Vinnies CEO Sleepout is more than just a fundraising event; it’s a powerful experience that allows business leaders to understand the hardships faced by those without a place to call home. By spending a night sleeping rough, participants like Chris gain firsthand insight into the daily struggles of the homeless, fostering greater empathy and a stronger resolve to drive change. Chris’ participation is a testament to his dedication to social responsibility and reflects the core values of MEC. At MEC, we believe in making a difference not just within the corporate world, but also within our communities. Chris’ example inspires our entire team to engage in philanthropic endeavours and support initiatives that create meaningful, positive impacts. We invite you to join us in supporting Chris and this worthy cause. Your donations will provide essential support and resources to those in need. Whether through a financial contribution or by spreading the word, every action helps make a difference. Together, we can provide much-needed support and resources to those in need. Let’s work together to address homelessness and make a lasting impact on our community.

Not sure where to donate this year? As someone who has experienced being temporarily un-housed and someone who works with those who are temporarily housed, may I suggest donating to Family Promise of Sussex County, NJ? I have worked directly with them and know that the donations go directly to help families. Thank you in advance for even reading this post from Chris Butto, Executive Director. ------------------------ Give the Gift of Home! Your commitment to helping individuals and families experiencing a housing crisis in our community is sincerely appreciated. Because of your and other donors' generosity and support, Sussex County saw a 33% decrease in homelessness from 2023 to 2024! Your contribution is part of an ongoing effort to make a lasting impact on our community. Although we've made significant progress, there is more work to be done: 1 in 3 individuals experiencing homelessness in Sussex County is a child under the age of 18. 1 in 5 un-sheltered individuals have been experiencing homelessness for over a year. 1 in 3 individuals experiencing homelessness reported having at least one disability. These statistics underscore the ongoing need for our work. Your contribution, big or small, is more than just a donation; it's a life-changing gift. Give the Gift of Home! Your generosity can make a monumental difference in the lives of struggling families. Imagine a mother who can tuck her children into their beds in a safe, warm home because of your donation. Envision one of our nation's heroes having a safe place to rest his head at night, all because of your support. Will you stand with us once again and renew your commitment to these families? Your donation is not just a gift; it's a promise of home, hope, and new beginnings. Thank you for your continued support and being a beacon of light in our community. Give the Gift of Home! With gratitude, Chris Butto Executive Director P.S. Remember, when you give, you're not just changing lives; you're setting an entire family on a path to a better, self-sufficient future. Your donation is their promise. Don't wait; donate today and join their journey to a brighter future. #donation #homelessness #unhoused https://lnkd.in/eNZQ-FNi

Fatigue in disaster philanthropy is real - and it’s real troubling. Middle America has been getting decimated the past 48 hours, yet nobody is paying attention. At least 13 people were killed overnight, but there’s no outpouring of support. Organizations like Team Rubicon are on the ground, responding with the same urgency that’s been their hallmark for over a decade. Yet donations from the public will not follow. This will quickly become unsustainable for organizations like TR. Ask yourself this question: what can I do today to make a difference. If you’re not grabbing a go-bag and deploying to the disaster zone, can you spare $10 to propel someone that is? #teamrubicon #csr #corporatesocialresponsibility #socialimpact #disastermanagement #emergencymanagement #philanthropy #nonprofit

Food to eat. A safe place to sleep. Support for mental health. We need all three to flourish and thrive ✨      In South King County, people lack these basic needs.  Our annual CARE Together Fund is a practical, immediate response to fix that and to support one another, fueled by local non-profits and donors.     Since 2020 this fund has granted $1.1 million to 109 organizations who are delivering critical food, housing, and mental health support to our local community.     This month, we are committed to raising $30,000 to make timely, critical grants from the CARE Together Fund to ensure our neighbors are fed, housed, and healthy.     Learn more about the fund at https://lnkd.in/g7HbZAkr and consider taking part in this positive impact by making a donation at https://shorturl.at/CQ8J6 (It’s a great moment to do so, as all gifts this month are being matched 1:1 up to $10,000.)     #CAREtogether #SouthKingCounty #CommunityFirst #Trustbasedphilanthropy #Philanthropy #HousingSecurity #FoodSecurity #MentalHealth #Donate

Giving Tuesday is a day to focus on giving back and raising awareness for those in need. 🌟 Whether it's spreading kindness, helping a neighbor, supporting a cause, or sharing what we have with others, every act of generosity counts, and everyone has something to contribute. At the William G. McGowan Charitable Fund, we believe meaningful change happens through funding programs that address critical needs and uplift communities. By investing in sustainable and impactful initiatives, we create opportunities for individuals and families to thrive. The McGowan Fund focuses on Education, Human Services, and Healthcare, prioritizing programs that are sustainable, have measurable outcomes, and work to break cycles of poverty and suffering. Guided by these principles, we envision a future where challenges are met with innovative solutions and lives are transformed. Together, we can create lasting change and build stronger communities.

It is only when we believe our efforts can change the world that we can begin making a positive difference through action. Though thoughtful individuals typically recognize that there is much suffering in the world, few consider themselves equipped to address the needless hurt and poverty they see. When we believe in our power to ease worldly pain, we recognize that even our most meager charitable endeavors have merit and are part of a larger community of goodness. We don't eschew opportunities to express ourselves philanthropically, thinking only of what we cannot do. Rather, we understand that change is the result of every person doing all they can. When you believe in yourself today, you'll find the strength to become a lifelong philanthropist. DailyOM #letschangetheworld #changetheworld #bethechangeyouwanttosee
