For more than six years, Today Cleaners in Bakersfield, CA, has partnered with Marine Toys for Tots Foundation to bring holiday cheer to families across Kern County. Through its Annual Toy Drive, the company collects new, unwrapped toys to ensure children in need have a brighter holiday season. They also donated $2,500 to support the initiative and extend their impact even further. By combining community generosity with their own contributions, Today Cleaners exemplifies how businesses can play a vital role in giving back. Their ongoing efforts highlight the importance of supporting local families and making the holidays special for everyone. https://lnkd.in/dPMguPF #ClothingDrive #BakersfieldCA #DryCleaning #AffiliateNetwork #CommunitySupport

Joining this community three years ago was one of the best decisions I ever made. It all started when I followed some random IT related account on instagram and the next thing I knew, I was hopping on a plane to Philadelphia to participate in my first #TEKSGiving. Fast forward to today… 3 TEKSgivings later…. We’re prepping for our 3rd annual TEKFest to secure funding for #TEKSGiving25. If you DONT know what #TEKSgiving is, it’s our annual charity project where we select a member-nominated NFP that is in dire need of technological help, evaluate their current situation, redesign their ENTIRE IT and security infrastructure, then we use every dime we raise from donations AND #TEKFest proceeds to purchase ALL of the equipment they need…crazy right? Nope. The crazy part is our community members from all across the country… even some international members….mobilize. We fly in, 20-30 members deep, rip out all of the old stuff, and install everything over the weekend…. All for free. It honestly blows my mind every year I’ve been. The impact that some of the upgrades have on these organizations is unmeasurable. Which brings us back to #TEKFest…. Doing all of these cool things unfortunately requires money. Lucky for you, we’re not just asking for donations for nothing (although you can still do that @ www.donate.teknowledge.org). If you come to #TEKFest you’ll get access to several different educational classes, face time with some of the most incredible vendors and manufacturers in the game, and the ability to network with business owners from all over that truly believe in #CommunityOverCompetition. Even if you can’t make it this year but you’re interested in our mission, come check us out! TEKnowledge Worldwide Www.teknowledge.org www.tekfest.org

What a result.

One of the greatest outcomes of container deposit schemes is the social outcomes they provide. From extra funds to support families, employment opportunities for people experiencing barriers to employment, to fundraising opportunities for charities and community groups, the impact on communities is immense. Recently, Return and Earn Depot Operator St Vincent de Paul Society NSW teamed up with not-for-profit Green Connect Illawarra to collect and process containers from the Illawarra Convoy. Collecting over 3,900 containers, the event was a win for three not-for-profits and the Illawarra community. Read more at https://lnkd.in/gg3dKif8
