Support AZFH Fundraiser: Help the Homeless with Bikes & New Shoes! This holiday season, we urgently need your help. AZFH is raising funds to repair and provide new bikes for our homeless community. These bikes are more than just transportation--they are a lifeline, enabling access to jobs, medical appointments, and essential services. Proper fitting shoes are equally critical. They help keep our homeless community healthy, infection-free, and provide safety and comfort they desperately need. Your generous donation can make a real difference. A recurring monthly gift can provide ongoing support, ensuring that we can continuously repair and supply bikes and shoes to those in need. Every dollar counts, $20 per month helps repair a bike, and $50 per month provides 6 pairs of new shoes for those in need. Please donate today and help spread the word. Recurring donations can be securely made on our website at: https://lnkd.in/gmaKA4E5 Together, we can bring hope and mobility to those who need it most. #SupportAZFH #BikesForGood #ShoesForTheHomeless #AZFHGivingHope #HolidayGiving #everydollarcounts #MakeADifference

Transform your Thanksgiving leftovers with some delicious ideas to prevent waste. Thanksgiving is a wonderful time for feasting and family, but it also leads to significant food waste. Here are some key points about the current status of Thanksgiving food waste: Massive Waste: It's estimated that over 300 million pounds of food will be wasted this Thanksgiving. This includes about 200 million pounds of turkey alone. Environmental Impact: Food waste contributes to greenhouse gas emissions. For example, the methane produced from Thanksgiving food waste is equivalent to powering 26,000 homes for a year. Economic Cost: The financial impact is substantial, with over $556 million worth of groceries expected to be thrown away. Resource Use: Producing food requires significant resources. For instance, one pound of turkey meat uses about 520 gallons of water. Reducing food waste can help mitigate these impacts. Simple steps like planning portions, using leftovers creatively, and donating excess food can make a big difference. Donate Unsued Food: If you have unopened, non-perishable items, consider donating them to our food pantry, shelter, or larger food banks. This helps those in need and prevents food from going to waste. Compost Food Scraps: Composting reduces waste, diverts organic waste from landfills, improves soil health, and saves money. #thanksgivingleftovers #give #homeless #neighbors #meals #stopfoodwaste #AZFHGivingHope
