I've used my page to help grow and bring awareness to local businesses and nonprofits, and today I need YOUR help! 🙏 👉Here's the deal: Professional Collectors Corp of Fond du Lac will donate up to $1500 to support Critter Junction Pet Rescue Fond du Lac, while I create content the month of July to share with all of you the impact they have! Here's how YOU can help: 1️⃣ Follow BOTH my page and Critter Junction Pet Rescue Fond du Lac. 2️⃣ Comment "done" on THIS post after following. *I do ask that followers are LOCAL to Wisconsin. 🧀 For every new follow in July, Professional Collectors Corp will donate $1, up to $1500.

This month, Beacon Hill's San Francisco Tech team did ab "Adopt a Family" for their community service initiative. The "Adopt a Family" program is a charitable initiative typically run by community organizations, nonprofits, or social service agencies during the holiday season, especially in December. The goal is to provide holiday gifts, meals, and other essentials to families in need. #ExpertsAtWork #EmployingTheFuture #GoHire

Why It Matters:

Last week, Alton’s New York office took part in our Pledge 1% volunteer day initiative, once again teaming up with West Side Campaign Against Hunger (WSCAH) in Manhattan to help alleviate hunger in the city.    WSCAH’s crucial work ensures all New Yorkers have access with dignity to a choice of healthy food and support services. In support of the organization’s community-focused mission, the Alton team helped prepare 1,490 bags of fresh or shelf-stable food to serve more than 600 families in New York.     Each year Alton supports Pledge 1% https://lnkd.in/eW_ANjH, where we not only donate 1% of our revenue, but also 1% of our time to charitable causes.       Please join us in helping West Side Campaign Against Hunger with its impactful work by donating here: https://lnkd.in/d3eDAKJ   #community #socialresponsibility #corporatecitizenship #givingback #WSCAH #Pledge1%

Many counties in Southwest Virginia have received significant damages because of Helene. Many are asking how they can help and are wanting to specifically assist farmers in need. Extension Agents in Southwest Virginia are working to assess farmer needs and the availability of donations. If you have anyone interested in donating, Virginia Cooperative Extension is working to coordinate those efforts. We are trying to get materials where they are needed. VCE is working with the VIRGINIA CATTLEMENS ASSOCIATION on accepting financial donations and hope to have that set up soon. All those interested in donating can fill out this form: https://lnkd.in/e5VedmNn Any farmer affected by the storm that needs assistance can fill out this form to let VCE know: https://lnkd.in/e6H8pXGb. Extension agents will also be adding farmers to the list with their needs.

Let's celebrate Arizona Gives Day! Arizona is home to more than 20,000 nonprofits providing services we rely on every day, and Arizona Gives Day was created to both strengthen and sustain Arizona's nonprofit community. While the platform is available for giving year-round, the 24-hour day of giving raises awareness, connects the public with businesses, and increases financial support for these important - and often critical - organizations. The organizations participating are more than "charity." Collectively, Arizona's nonprofits constitute a powerful economic engine. This is a great opportunity to engage with your favorite causes. Want to empower at-risk foster youth? Grow the foster network of your local animal rescue? Deliver critical supplies to homeless individuals?

Crisis, such as the tragic fires in and around Ruidoso, reveal the character of people and businesses. Such as the extreme leadership of MATI’s Godfrey Enjady working tirelessly with friends, such as PVT’s James Meyers, to restore vital communications within and outside of their own service areas. Or the local businesses working together to meet the needs of those impacted. Local businesses matter and will be there when needed. I so appreciate the efforts of PVT’s employees organizing this effort to bring supplies to those in need. Chris & Tabitha Davis , Cassie Florez , Daniel Rodriguez, SHRM-CP and Ross Horner.

Community impact? The primary impact of this firms business model increases homelessness (currently at 10K+ homeless people on any given night) by gentrifying neighborhoods and forcing people who make less money out. "Global day for people and planet" yet the firm musters up 2 small bins of mostly dog and cat food...this doesn't even align. How about taking on projects that actually help to reduce the number of homeless people in the city instead of ones that are for the affluent population and for corporations to profit from. I hope other architecture studios in Toronto can learn from these fake displays of positive community impact. Many studios like this promote themselves as doing good but really at a foundational socio-economic level, they drive some of the biggest problems in the city. #thinkcritically #communityimpact #torontohomeless
