🌈💫Good Samaritans play a vital role in fostering kindness, compassion, and generosity in our communities. Every day, they offer help to those in need without expecting anything in return, embodying the true spirit of selflessness.⭐✨ 🌈💫One of the most impactful ways we can follow in their footsteps is by focusing on meeting basic needs, such as feeding those who are hungry. When we come together to share what we have—whether through food drives, community kitchens, or offering a meal to a neighbor in need—we are not just feeding the body, but also nurturing the soul.⭐✨ 🌈💫The act of feeding others is an expression of love and solidarity. It shows that we care about the well-being of others, especially during difficult times. There are countless individuals and families who struggle with hunger, and as Good Samaritans, we have the power to make a tangible difference in their lives. By organizing or participating in food-sharing initiatives, we can offer a moment of relief and hope to someone who may be facing challenges beyond their control.✨⭐ 🌈💫In this fast-paced world, it’s easy to forget the importance of giving and the impact it can have. However, small acts of kindness, such as bringing a meal to someone who is struggling, can have a lasting effect. It’s not just about providing sustenance—it’s about fostering a sense of community and building connections. When we feed others, we remind them that they are seen, valued, and cared for.⭐✨ 🌈💫Let’s all take inspiration from the Good Samaritans who lead by example and commit ourselves to serving those around us. Whether it’s through time, resources, or simply showing up when someone is in need, our contributions make a difference. Together, we can build stronger, more compassionate communities where no one goes hungry and everyone is supported.⭐✨ 🌈💫#GoodSamaritan #FeedTheHungry #KindnessMatters #SelflessService #CommunitySupport #MakeADifference #ShareLove #CompassionInAction⭐✨

People want to be treated kindly, like human beings, and listened to. 👇 Over the last year and a half I’ve been working on this report with colleagues. It was published yesterday and I’m really proud of it. It’s the first policy report where we’ve talked about the importance of love in our services. It might sound trite, but it’s one of the hardest things to do for professionals. Bound up by professional boundaries, forms, processes (not necessarily bad things!), it can feel like compassion is “designed out”. You can see the report here: https://lnkd.in/eidqSw29

Are you like me and are looking for ways to give back to others? I have volunteered at Feed My Starving Children (FMSC) many times over the years. A few months ago, I stopped in and asked what more could I do beyond packing meals and donating money. As it turns out, they also need folks to speak to organizations (schools, churches, businesses....etc.) to inform them about FMSC. Recently, I was at an event where I spoke to high school students about FMSC and why what they do is so important. Did you know that 1 in 9 children go hungry each day? What's worse, an estimated 6200 children die each day from starvation. I think many of us 'know' this but are so far removed, that we are really numb to this crisis. I know the vast majority of the high schools students I spoke with were very much unaware. FMSC receives no government funding. They are 100% supported by volunteers (time to pack these meals and money to buy the food). They strive to keep administrative costs down and over 90% of the monetary donations go directly into the food costs.

We’ve started to perform quarterly surveys here at The Bridge as a way to learn more about our guests and understand the best ways to make improvements. Our first survey was completed this summer and the results helped us greatly in knowing what was working and how to make our services better. You can read all about the results on our blog: https://lnkd.in/esFYgXMx To find our more about the work we do and how to help, visit our website www.bridgeleicester.org #homelessness #charity #survey #blog

After putting some clean time together, some of us have a tendency to forget what our most important priority is. Once a week or less we say, "I've gotta get to a meeting tonight. It's been.. " We've been caught up in other things, important for sure, but no more so than our continued participation in Narcotics Anonymous. It happens gradually. We get jobs. We reunite with our families. We're raising children, the dog is sick, or we're going to school at night. The house needs to be cleaned. The lawn needs to be mowed. We have to work late. We're tired. There's a good show at the theater tonight. And all of a sudden, we notice that we haven't called our sponsor, been to a meeting, spoken to a newcomer, or even talked to God in quite a while. What do we do at this point? Well, we either renew our commitment to our recovery, or we continue being too busy to recover until something happens and our lives become unmanageable. Quite a choice! Our best bet is to put more of our energy into maintaining the foundation of recovery on which our lives are built. That foundation makes everything else possible, and it will surely crumble if we get too busy with everything else. Just for today: I can't afford to be too busy to recover. I will do something today that sustains my recovery. We are here to help.
