How aware are you of diaper need in our Native American communities? According to the Annie E. Casey Foundation, 30% of Native American families across the United States experience significant diaper need. In 2024, approximately 18% of families served by Babies of Homelessness had Native American household members. When you donate to BoH, we can leverage each dollar to purchase diapers at a steep discount, so each dollar goes much further. Please consider Babies of Homelessness for your end of year giving, for a diaper drive, or for donating diapers and formula, today. The need is now. Give today at https://lnkd.in/g-cc7WjA.

The Laundry Truck LA, we know clean clothes mean more than hygiene—they mean dignity, confidence, and opportunity. Our fundraiser, Fresh Starts Begin With Clean Clothes, was created to ensure we can continue bringing free mobile laundry services to those in need across Los Angeles. Clean clothes can transform lives—increasing school attendance, helping individuals secure employment, and restoring self-worth. Every donation, big or small, will make a meaningful impact. Together, we can create fresh starts for those who need them most. 💙 Support the cause: https://lnkd.in/gjAjGT9m 💙 Learn more about our work: https://lnkd.in/gwSJ9Nbu

By supporting SADD Nation this holiday season, you can play a vital role in helping to impact hundreds of thousands of youth across the country. There is a tremendous need to elevate youth voices on issues affecting them. They have been yelling from the top of the mountains on: ◾ Traffic & Mobility Safety (i.e., addressing #distracteddriving, access to #drivereducation, and advocating for various automobile technology advances) ◾ Health & Mental Health (i.e., increasing #suicideawareness, access to #mentalhealth resources, and the pressures of school, work, extracurricular activities, and home) ◾ Substance Use Prevention (i.e., effects of tobacco & marijuana, addressing the #opioid epidemic, and the relation between mental health and drug use) #SADD is a part of that solution. We give youth more than a voice. We give them a platform to impact themselves and their peers. Through your support, you become part of #SADDNation, a team that will positively educate and inform youth across the country, ultimately helping to #savelives. Join us. www.sadd.org/donate

For anyone looking to support a good cause.

A few sobering stats from the "Household Food Insecurity in Canada, 2022"◽ report: ◾ 22.9% of households in Newfoundland and Labrador experienced some degree of food insecurity in the previous 12 months, amounting to 116,000 people. ◾ This is the highest rate in any of the ten provinces in Canada. ◾ 28.8% of children under 18 in Newfoundland and Labrador lived in food-insecure households. Since 2022, NLCU has held its annual NLCU Fall Food Drive to help support individuals and families in Newfoundland and Labrador who experience food insecurity to get the nourishment they need.

This is so tragic! Details on how to help below 👇

Confession: I like Giving Tuesday 🤯 I don't like it for the flood of posts and endless requests I receive, but because it's a day intentionally indicated to giving any kind or amount of personal resources to each other. ❓ Why should I give? We all have needs. Needing can be scary, especially when we spend each day trying to fulfill our own needs and those of our in-group. However, needing can also be exceptionally companionable when we realize it's what we all have in common. So, in my opinion, you should give something this Giving Tuesday because we all need something. ➕ Additionally, today most places have opportunities to match your donation! You can give the same amount on any other day, but today is the day it will make the most impact. ❓ What should I give? The simple answer is to examine what you have to give. You can give time by volunteering, you can give energy by learning about local causes, you can give items to in-kind donations, and, of course, you can always give money. Giving is an expression of empathy. I like Giving Tuesday because today, there is energy, time, and resources committed to compounding your expression of empathy, which is why today is the day to intentionally give.
