Arizona's Family to the Homeless’ Post

I was listening to an NPR Life Kit tonight about Giving Tuesday - they were trying to help people figure out how to make charitable gifts. 1) Think about things you care about. 2) Write down a list of organizations that are working to make that happen, and 3) Make a budget. (And make a donation!) It's not bad advice. It's a little dry and passionless for my taste - but in some ways, I hope you do this today/Tuesday. I hope you think about what you want your community to look like for *everyone* and think about your budget and give what you can give. Today/Tuesday is a great day to do it because a lot of non-profits are hoping you will, but really any day is a good day to give. I've worked at WayForward Resources for 23 years come January. It's a good organization that is very responsibly operated and managed, with the best of the people you've ever known working and volunteering and teaming together to create that better world. Follow along with our GivingTuesday Block Party all day long. If nothing else, please share a post or two. Give a few (or more) dollars if you can. Make the world better for someone today. As one of the equally busiest food pantries in our community, and one of the only organizations in Dane County providing housing case management, eviction prevention funds, and a doubled-up housing program, your donation during this will increase our impact, helping us provide food, housing, and hope to our community. #buildtogether

🌟 Ever wondered what happens to a tin of beans when you donate it? Here's the journey of one tin from your hands to those in need:  1️) Buy a tin – It all starts with you! You purchase a tin of beans and decide to make a difference.  2️) Donate the tin – You drop it off at one of our collection points, knowing it'll help someone in need.  3️) We sort the tin – Our amazing volunteers sort and organise all donated tins by date and type, ensuring we’re rotating our stock effectively  4️) We put the tin in our community supermarket – The tin takes its place on the shelves of our community supermarket, where those facing tough times can access it.  5️) The tin then goes to those in need – Finally, the tin of beans ends up in the basket of someone who needs it, providing them with a warm, nourishing meal.    Every tin counts. Every donation matters. Thank you for making a difference! 🙌    #CharityJourney #FoodBankHeroes #CommunitySupport #DonateToMakeADifference #HelpingHands #CommunitySupermarket #HappyDaysUK #HappyDaysHalifax

August marked a significant milestone for us—we gave out over 103,800 pounds of food in just one month! This is the first time we've surpassed 100,000 pounds in a single month, serving a record 1,822 families—equating to 5,610 people! To put that in perspective, in August 2023, we provided just shy of 75,000 pounds of food to 1,207 families—reaching 3,929 people. The growth we are experiencing is truly humbling. As we transition from our "slower season," with an already 44% growth rate compared to last year, into the busy months from September to December, we anticipate serving even more people in our programs. And we can serve these ever-increasing numbers with the support of our community! Thank you for your contributions of time, food, and funds; we couldn't serve our neighbors in need without you! #DonateFood #FoodDrive #FeedCentralOregon #EndHunger #FightHunger #CommunitySupport #CentralOregonGives #LocalFoodPantry #GiveBack #HelpYourNeighbors #CentralOregonCares #SupportLocalCharities #FoodForAll #GiveLocal #NeighborsHelpingNeighbors #VolunteerCentralOregon #GiveYourTime #MakeADifference #VolunteerLocally #BeTheChange #HelpYourCommunity
