Achieving human, community, societal and economic benefits all in one! Insightful. Smart. 🤓 Benefits: 🍎 improved nutrition for young children. This has such long lasting benefits. A true investment in our future population health. 🍏 encouraging engagement with local services which improves support systems for families 🍊 social connection - improves support and wellbeing, strengthens communities 🥦 supports local economy - engagement with local markets and traders.

Let's talk about the impact of the ECU Health Foundation in Eastern North Carolina! 🏥 By connecting donors, businesses, and community members, they're driving healthcare development and inspiring philanthropy for the region's well-being. How important are initiatives like this for community health? Barnhill’s Director of Business Development Valerie Bono sat down with Scott Senatore, Chief Philanthropy Officer of the ECU Health Foundation, to learn more. 📣 Stream this and our eighth episode of Constructing the Carolinas (which will be released on Monday, December 2nd) at https://lnkd.in/g4JhfcnB!

If you are part of an organization - any organization - that has philanthropic efforts connected to #firstresponders (police, firefighters, EMTs, nurses, doctors, 911 operators and more), #communityengagement, #disasterrelief and recovery and related causes - this webinar is for you. In the last four years of working with NACS and the NACS Foundation, I've learned so much about the role convenience stories play in our communities. Think about it: their 24/7 operations, proximity to roads, and shelves that magically hold anything we need while on the go - they are one of the lifebloods of our community and day-to-day lives. They are the first thing we see entering a community and the last on our way out. Yet, so many people don't appreciate how critical they are, nor how instrumental they are in emergency situations of all stripes. The NACS Foundation has been working to change this for years, and this webinar shows how any company with a connection to these causes can get more deeply involved and expand their program's reach via our amazing annual event #247Day, as well as other critical moments on the calendar. Join us on January 23 to learn more. You can register here: https://lnkd.in/eBGYv5bp Kevin O'Connell, Executive Director for the NACS Foundation shares even more more on why: ** From Kevin: Between Hurricane Helene and now the LA wildfires, I’ve been reflecting on how our industry comes together in times of need—like supporting first responders and communities impacted by unfortunate disasters. It’s a powerful reminder of our critical role in giving back. Whether you’re in the convenience store industry or looking for ways to support first responders in your community, I invite you to our 24/7 2025 Info webinar next Thursday, 1/23, at 2 p.m. This one-hour webinar will present new ways to: 1. Recognize and honor first responders in your community. 2. Partner with the NACS Foundation and our 7th annual 24/7 Day to create meaningful, local impact. 3. Hear inspiring stories from retailers like High's, who expanded 24/7 Day into a month-long celebration honoring local heroes. You don’t need to work in the C-store industry to participate—there are countless ways to get involved and make a difference. Register below to learn more about 24/7 Day and how to participate on July 24, 2025. Let’s work together to celebrate the heroes who are always there for us. NACS Michele Truelove Morganne Manouse

This will no doubt be a very insightful (and complimentary!) webinar on one approach to address the challenge of declining donor numbers, which is a challenge that most not-for-profit organizations are facing right now.
