HOW DARUL INFAQ STARTED? SERVICE TO HUMANITY IS SERVICE TO GOD It started as a very humble desire and personal effort to serve humanity. This idea or desire is to provide groceries to households with very limited or no financial resources. Through the generosity of a growing network of donors and volunteers, the initial effort expanded to provide groceries on a recurring basis from a few to hundreds of families. With the increase in donations and the growth of the recipients of monthly groceries, it became imperative that a non-profit organization to be formed. Hence, Darul Infaq Foundation USA was formed and registered with the Secretary of State, Illinois and with IRS in October 5, 2021 as a non-profit - Tax Exempt organization. Darul Infaq has also expanded to offering assistance with school fees to households with very limited or no financial resources, assistance with emergency medical expenses to those in need and distributing cooked food to the homeless.

Good evening Pilots and Cabin Attendants, Did you know that there are local organizations that will take donations of packaged foods that are past the stamped “best by date, or expired on date” to give to local impoverished families? This is so they do not have to choose between eating and paying bills. In Rhode Island we have a non-profit called; Project Hand Up. They serve hundreds of customers per week. When you are provisioning your Jet, removing expired snacks from the storage locker keep these organizations in mind and donate to them instead of just throwing the food away. What non-profit will you be donating your expired snacks to? Comment below!

Can you help Riley?

When I joined Grace & Green in 2022 as Head of Growth, my very first presentation to the Board was about how we took what had been created in Period Dignity and use this to have a much wider impact on both the business and the world of work. How would we make Period Dignity the market leader (with very little money to spend to do so)? I don't have enough space in this post to work through exactly what I set out in that meeting, however it boiled down to: ✌ Understanding the impact we want to have: It's always been about more than supplying products - Education is woven into the threads of Period Dignity. To achieve period dignity we need access to information, availability of products and acceptance within workplace culture - we designed our offering and continue to develop everything we do around these pillars. This was summed up perfectly by a client (John) who said "Grace & Green don't just supply a product, they create a CULTURE". Exactly John. ✌ Remember who we are and why we are doing it: Unsurprisingly, the workplace space has and is becoming more competitive. This is excellent news, as more businesses embrace free period care as a basic right, and especially comforting how many are choosing a more sustainable providers. As now Chief Commercial Officer, it's also mildly stressful (mildly 🙃 ). However, dignity continues to be about more than avoiding getting caught short, it's about embracing inclusivity and supporting our Members to deliver dignity for all, no matter of age, gender identity, or how they experience their period. There's still a long way to go, and we've got SO much more coming here... ✌ Treat every customer like they are absolutely making our day. This is perhaps a small business mindset, or when many of the team have done almost every job in the company. We all remember the THRILL of winning our first big contract, the DELIGHT of walking into a shop and seeing our products on shelf, or randomly walking into the bathroom BEAMING seeing our products. We don't take for granted the fact we get to be in people's everyday. (For me this has never worn off, my heart still skips a little when I process an order, receive a tender award notice, or see a customer talking about us on socials.) Particularly grateful for our team for supporting our phenomenal YOY 120% growth, for challenging, pushing our vision and positioning, and for being excellent. I'm incredibly proud of what we and our members are doing to drive inclusivity, awareness and dignity within their workplaces and educational establishments. I can't wait to see what the next two years can hold. Happy Birthday Period Dignity. x

Having assisted Scott and the board with their strategic planning process, I know these resources will be used effectively

So vital to protect our citizens

As many of you know I represent the Arizona Professional Towing & Recovery Association. This year APTRA is trying something different for a fundraiser online. We have partnered with ZEFFY to assist us in this journey. Most of you know Towing Associations aren't government, they don't qualify for grants like the other stakeholders do. Not to say that there are grants out there, there are just not necessarily in the arena we play in. So, they run on volunteers, donations and membership to keep them operating and fund them. Unfortunately, there is not enough of all three. This is not just this association; it is most non-profit associations across the country. Donations of any amount can assist an association in their day-to-day operations. What would the donations be used for? operations, advocacy and education & training. As always out Slow Down, Move Over message is at the top of our list. I would appreciate your help during this giving season with a donation to APTRA. https://lnkd.in/gPydxHeR

You're never alone. It's so important that our clients know that they are not alone and that they have people supporting them and cheering them on. Life is hard, but we don't have to go at it alone. 🫶🏼 #weareunshakeable #workforceisthemission #empowertoemploy #vegasnonprofit #healingjourney #lasvegasnv #loveheals #nonprofitlife #womenempowerment #womenorganizations
