Ever wonder what the items donated to #ShareOurSpare mean to the families and kids who receive them? We hear frequently from partners that for their clients, receiving items feels like they’re not in it alone! They feel apart of a community that cares about them and their kids, even without knowing them personally. The impact of feeling cared about, seen, supported and important is hard to describe in words, but if you’ve felt it, you know how powerful it is!

Strengthen your community this #GivingTuesday and all year! Local businesses are the heart of our neighbourhoods, bringing character, connection, and resilience to our communities 🤝💗 We encourage supporting local charities directly, but did you know that when you shop local, you’re indirectly helping the causes that local businesses contribute to? Local businesses recirculate revenue through their profits, payroll, purchasing and philanthropy. When you #supportlocal you’re participating in a virtuous cycle that creates jobs and helps build a thriving local economy 📈 Local businesses give back 25x more per dollar of revenue to local causes compared to multinationals. How? ✨ They donate cash, goods, services, and volunteer time, with >50% support local events and community initiatives. ➡️ They also offer vital career opportunities for young people. Plus, 95% of these businesses increase their contributions when they are doing well. Give the gift of giving by choosing to #BCBuyLocal this holiday season and all year 💛 #SupportCommunities #BCBuyLocalWeek #ShopSmallBC #SupportLocalBC

Day 2 of #12DaysOfQSRs!   For the second day I am highlighting Giving Kitchen. Although not technically a #QSR, the work they do is directly related to QSRs. I felt like what better time to share their mission than during the holiday season of giving and the week of Giving Tuesday.   Giving Kitchen is a non-profit organization that services food service workers who are in crisis. They provide financial support and community resources to those in need. "Giving Kitchen is building a food service community where crisis is met with care."   This is an incredibly important organization to include in the conversation surrounding QSRs. We often talk about what QSRs bring to the table, forgetting about WHO is ensuring we have these items. Employees are the back-bone of the industry and Giving Kitchen understands this.   They have helped over 25,000 food service workers and the number keeps climbing. Linked below is their website where you can find more information about their mission, their origin story, how to get support, and how to donate. 🔗 https://lnkd.in/erh26CTm #GivingKitchen #Support #QuickByteCrew #GivingTuesday

Local businesses are the backbone of our communities. They bring unique products, create jobs, and give back to local causes. Here’s why it’s more important than ever to support them: 1. Preserve Community Character: Local shops give our towns their unique charm. 2. Boost the Local Economy: Every dollar spent locally helps our community thrive. 3. Enjoy Unique Products: Find one-of-a-kind items you won’t see anywhere else. 4. Create Jobs: Small businesses employ nearly half of the workforce in the U.S. 5. Support Local Initiatives: Local businesses donate more to local charities and causes. Let’s make a difference together! 💪 #SupportLocal #SmallBusiness #ShopLocal #Community #ProfilePlace
