If you're interested in supporting victims of the Los Angeles fires, consider donating to GiveDirectly. Research indicates that direct giving is highly effective as recipients can best determine how to address their needs.

Having supported GiveDirectly's global initiatives as a monthly donor for years, I recently contributed towards aid for the LA fires. Your engagement (commenting or "liking" this post) can amplify its reach and potentially encourage more donations.

Summer should be a time of discovery and growth, but transportation barriers often stand in the way for many youths in our community. They need a lift to reach literacy camps, theatre programs, sports camps, and math corps camps—vital opportunities for their development.
That’s where our M1 Mobility program steps in, and we need your help to make it happen!
Here’s how your donations can directly impact the lives of these young people:
🚗 Expand Service Reach: With your help, we can ensure over 2,500 rides this summer, allowing more youths to access essential learning and growth opportunities.
🚗 Support Consistent Access: Reliable transportation ensures that no opportunity is missed due to lack of a ride.
🚗 Build Brighter Futures: Every ride is a step towards acquiring new skills, enhancing education, and forging stronger community ties.
Your support means we can drive forward, not just by giving a ride, but by investing in the futures of Pontiac’s youth. Let's help them get where they need to go and grow!
👉 Donate today and fuel their journey to success! https://lnkd.in/ejsJcBx9
Let's drive positive change together! Join us in ensuring that no youth is left behind due to a lack of transportation.

I experienced the best fundraiser ever a few months ago. It was a win-win-win (..win..win..win) situation.
My church was fundraising for a summer camp to send high-schoolers to.
The high schoolers put on a "Parent's Night Out."
One Saturday night they let parents drop off their kids for 3 hours. The high schoolers watched all the kids and had fun together. This was free, and they also accepted donations.
It was awesome, on so many levels. So many wins
Win 1- The Donor: They gave me something SO valuable, time with my spouse, rather than just asking me for money. I GLADLY donated.
Win 2- The Recipient: The high schoolers gave of their own time and effort. They participated and contributed, and this creates ownership.
Win 3- The Values: This is 100% aligned with the values the church is trying to foster. Intergenerational relationships. Generosity. Community. Trust. Attention to time building strong marriages.
If we can creatively build this sort of infinite win situation into our non profits and businesses, we'll have done well.
Charity—whether through money, food, clothing, or toys—is a vital practice that we should make a regular part of our lives. In Islam, even a simple smile is considered an act of charity.
It’s inspiring to see people dedicate their time and effort to something spiritually enriching while supporting those in need. Here are some key takeaways about charity and its significance in Islam.
Charity helps alleviate poverty, reduce inequality, and strengthen bonds within the community, fostering a sense of mutual care and responsibility.
Islam emphasizes that acts of charity, big or small, are significant in the eyes of Allah, as I said above even a smile can count as charity.
In fact , Zakat(charity) is one of the Five Pillars of Islam, requiring Muslims to give a fixed percentage (usually 2.5%) of their wealth annually to help the needy, support social welfare, and promote economic balance.
Charity is considered a way to purify one’s wealth and soul, reduce greed, and earn Allah’s blessings and forgiveness. The Qur’an and Hadith frequently promise immense rewards for those who give generously.
Ultimately, charity benefits both the giver and the receiver, serving as a powerful means to foster a more just, fair, and compassionate society.

With Christmas fast approaching, I felt inspired to give back to the community in a meaningful way. I therefore personally took the lead in organising Christmas pamper boxes for women and children in refuge at Pennine Domestic Abuse Partnership (PDAP).
This involved planning, coordinating donations, and working closely with Deborah from PDAP to ensure we could make a real impact for their clients in need. Our Family Department already work very closely with PDAP who are a key provider of domestic abuse services in Kirklees so it was incredibly rewarding to hear how much this will mean to the families at the refuge.
Also, many thanks to the two offices that donated, we successfully gathered enough donations to fill four boxes!
No student should have to miss assignments and risk falling behind in school because they don’t have reliable Internet access at home.
Last year, Matthew Gilbert Middle School in Jacksonville, Florida, extended its public school network into the community. Now, students can get free Internet right at home via a tower on the school’s campus.
With Truist, we helped fund this work through the EPIC grant. Donate to support more work like this. https://lnkd.in/eajF5Yr2
