We're inspired by the belief that while helping one person might not change the entire world, it can indeed change the world for that one person. 🥰 ⠀ This powerful notion drives us every day to reach out, support, and uplift individuals experiencing homelessness. 🙌💜 ⠀ Be the change in someone's world. Your support, whether through donations, volunteering, or spreading awareness, can transform lives. ✨⠀ 🌐 https://lnkd.in/ey_ipkDm ⠀ #bigdreamsbiggerhearts #changetheworld #makeadifference #individualimpact #supportsystem #endhomelessness #housingforall #educationmatters #jobplacement #mentalhealthsupport #changemakers #giveback #volunteerism #communitysupport #actsofkindness #nonprofitimpact #empowerment #hopeandhealing #transforminglives #bethechange #helpingothers #socialgood #lifetransformation #upliftingothers #spreadawareness

18th July, Mandela Day, people should be encouraged to dedicate 67 minutes to community service, honoring Nelson Mandela's 67 years of public service. Some specific ways individuals can give back to their communities: 1. Help at Local Shelters: Spend time assisting at homeless shelters or food banks. This could involve preparing and serving meals, organizing donations, or simply providing company to those in need. 2. Community Clean-Up Drives: Organize or join efforts to clean parks, streets, lakes or beaches. This helps create a cleaner, safer environment and fosters community spirit. 3.Educational Support: Volunteer at local schools or libraries. Offer tutoring services, read to children, or help organize educational events. 4. Visit the Elderly: Spend time with elderly people in nursing homes or in your neighborhood or Old age homes.Engage in conversations, help with chores, or organize a small event to brighten their day. Giving back to your community is indeed important. It fosters a sense of connection, helps to improve the quality of life for others, and can provide personal fulfillment. Contributing time, resources, or expertise can strengthen community bonds, support local initiatives, and create a more supportive and resilient environment. Whether through volunteering, supporting local businesses, or participating in community events, every effort can make a significant impact towards Equality. #DEI#Equality#CommunityService# volunteering #Community bond#Connections#improvedquality of life#personalgoals#fulfillment#gratitude #givingback#peace #buildequalsociety#beautifulsafespaces

One-quarter of older people would like to make a new pool of friends but have no idea where to start, according to The Independent. That's why we choose to run our Befriending service: to give older individuals the chance to converse with other individuals and feel connected to society, especially when they live alone. Would you become a befriender for Age Connects Cardiff & Vale? Help us to build confidence amongst older people by volunteering for either face-to-face or telephone befriending. Just ONE hour per week could help to reduce the ONE quarter of older individuals who are seeking friendship.

Some of the most impressive leaders I've met in my career have been associated with the Chicago Coalition to end Homelessness (CCH). Pictured here with me is one such leader Shapelle Lilly Pisano, CPA whom I've just handed over the baton of being the Treasurer on CCH's Board of Directors 🤝 (Rest assured, I'll still be making an impact - just now in Membership / Board Development!) The humans who CCH attracts are similar to the kinds of customers I attract to my business: people who want to BE the change they wish to see... 🌎 For CCH that includes a deep love of Chicago, of community, of equity, and of what is possible when we advocate for each other's human rights. Housing is one such human right, and until the day we ensure everyone has the housing they deserve, I am encouraged most by surrounding myself with people who are on the same page 📕💥 💯 Head to the comments of this post to find three important items: 1️⃣ A link to my Giving Tuesday fundraiser for CCH - even five dollars goes a long way and would MAKE my day <3 (P.S. You are allowed to donate before the day arrives!) 2️⃣ A link to learn more about CCH's incredible volunteer leaders, which includes the AMAZING Associate Board (- and I highly recommend for people wanting to get into volunteering in Chicago!) 3️⃣ A few more shoutouts to CCH people you should know, who - like Shapelle - I cannot WAIT to have a front row seat to see the impact they will make this upcoming year... especially with your support this #GivingTuesday <3 #Chicago #GivingTuesday2024 #Volunteerism #Community #Advocacy #Housing #RacialEquity #NonProfit #DoGood

Forget the suitcase! 🧳 Have you ever seen ads or heard about programs that supply kids in foster care with suitcases to make it so they can move with more dignity than throwing all of their belongings in a trash bag? That's such a tangible concept to imagine - of course, kids shouldn't have their things in garbage bags. But those ads always make us wonder "What if there were a healthy, familiar grown-up attached to that suitcase?" Isn't that what they really need? Someone consistent they can trust and who knows their story. ✅ Someone who knows what book they're on in the Wings of Fire series, ✅ who knows their favorite type of muffin (not blueberry, cuz mushy fruit=gross), ✅ someone who knows their favorite song ...someone who knows them, and will show up no matter what? Stephanie is that person holding the suitcase. 🧳 Whether you donate or volunteer, one yes will change their life forever, and it will change yours too.
