The public library system is an incredible resource for everyone, at every age, in every stage of life . . . it's not just reading and books -- a source of adventure, learning, comfort, and growth all on their own! It's also about a quiet place to sit and just be, it's about heat in the winter and AC in the summer, it's about games, it's about homework help and job support, it's about community building, it's about self-improvement and self-care . . . it's so very many things and I am over-the-moon grateful to have been introduced to the magic and power of libraries at an early age by my mom, to have always lived near wonderful and extensive library systems, to have made it a point to find the nearest library, and to have eventually grown to enrolling in digital library memberships. If you do anything this week -- patron, support, and thank your local library! #publiclibraries #publicgoods #communityspaces #safespaces #lifelonglearning

The outpouring of support for Los Angeles during these wildfires has been nothing short of inspiring. Our community is coming together in incredible ways—volunteers are stepping up, organizations are collecting donations, and people are offering resources to help those affected. As we continue to rally around those in need, it’s important to remember that the recovery goes beyond just immediate aid. Many families rely on the hospitality and event industries for their livelihoods, and the revenue from events held in Los Angeles plays a critical role in supporting them. If you're planning an event, please consider moving forward with it, be mindful response times may take a bit to get back to "normal" but cancellation shouldn't be the solution. Canceling events in L.A. can impact families who rely on these industries to put food on the table and rebuild their lives. Our city needs that revenue to help with long-term recovery. Let’s continue to show our strength and resilience, not only through acts of kindness but also by supporting the local economy. If you're looking for ways to volunteer or donate, please check in with local organizations for updated needs. Every bit counts!

Meet Luca🧡💙 With our summer distribution fundraising campaign underway we met with our Logistics Manager, Luca, to discuss the upcoming summer clothes distribution. Luca shared: “In the last few weeks, the weather has changed rapidly on Samos and we have seen that people are less interested in winter clothing. We are preparing to start the summer distribution to ensure that people receive the clothes that they want but also need to stay cool in the summer heat. Starting our summer distribution as soon as possible depends on our stock and your support.” Follow this link to donate and Support People on Samos this Summer: https://lnkd.in/eiaXSJsH #SamosVolunteers #Volunteer #StandForSamos #Greece #NGO #Refugees #RefugeesWelcome #Solidarity #HumanitarianAid #PsychosocialSupport #Community #Empowerment #SafeSpace #EuropeMustAct #SafeAndLegalRoutes

Philanthropy and pageants are two concepts that can be intertwined. For decades pageants have been commonly recognised for their charitable involvement in communities and society, primarily focusing on philanthropy as well as social well-being through related activities in serving public interest and common good. Whether it’s supporting homelessness, environmental issues or times of crisis. Cause-related collaboration offer unique opportunity for impactful giving, in creating a better economy. The beauty of helping others.
