🎄 Spreading Christmas Cheer Through Charitable Giving 🎁 At Ital Logistics Limited, we’ve always believed that the true spirit of Christmas is about giving back. That’s why, instead of sending corporate gifts, we dedicate our resources each year to support charities that are making a real difference—especially those that often lack the larger, more widespread support they deserve. This year, with input from our wonderful team, we are proud to make donations to the following organisations, all of which are doing incredible work in their communities: ▪️ Bolton Destitute Animal Shelter 🐾 ▪️ Coffee4Craig ☕ ▪️ Veterans Into Logistics 🎖️ ▪️ Animals In Distress Field Of Dreams 🐕 ▪️ Bootle Bucks Inclusion FC ⚽ These donations will help each of these charities continue to achieve their vital goals—whether it’s supporting vulnerable animals, assisting the homeless, providing opportunities for veterans, or giving young people the chance to thrive through sport. We are confident that these contributions will have a lasting impact on the communities they serve. At Ital, we’re proud to support causes that matter and believe in the importance of giving back to the community—not just at Christmas, but throughout the year. It’s our small way of making a positive difference and helping those who need it most. Here’s to a season of generosity, kindness, and making a real impact! 🌟 Follow the link below to learn more 👇 https://lnkd.in/dy_MFfb6 #ChristmasGiving #Transport #SeasonOfGiving #CommunityImpact #MakingADifference #CharitableDonations #GivingBack #FreightForwarding

The Christmas holiday season is one of my favorites because it encourages us to think of others, share more kindness, and it gives us an opportunity to celebrate many ideas and beliefs we have in common. Christianity, Judaism, Islam, and Agnostics have a great deal in common. We have notable similarities in notions of sacrifice, good works, hospitality, peace, justice, pilgrimage, and charity. My invitation to all of you during this season, as well as during 2025 is to turn down the chattering voices of the media outlets and social media who are paid to promote the shocking, the controversial, and the divisive, and instead choose to focus on the things we have in common. In my experience, we will usually find that we have a lot more in common than we originally thought if we take the time to talk to each other, ask sincere questions, and listen with the intent to find common ground. If you are looking for a fun way to make a charitable donation and make it a fun experience for your family and friends, then I would encourage you to check out the link below and look for a Light The World Giving Machine near you. It provides you with an opportunity to purchase items for local or international charities. Imagine swiping your credit card at a vending machine—but instead of buying a candy bar for yourself, you’re buying a sheep for a family in a third-world country. Or a polio vaccine. Or a pair of shoes. Or meals for a local Food Bank. With the #LightTheWorld Giving Machines, that’s exactly what happens. The Giving Machines provide a way for people to make the Christmas season a little more meaningful for themselves and for countless others. https://lnkd.in/g25xN4XY Now for your Christmas story about a rifle, shoes, and a little candy.

Dear Colleagues, As you might already know, I’m participating in the Vinnies CEO Sleepout again tonight. This will be my 8th year of contribution. A huge shout out to all those who have already donated and helped me raise over $3000 to date. With only a few hours to go before the event commences, I’d like to make one final reach out to all those who would like to donate but may not have yet had the chance to do so. Every dollar we raise goes to Vinnies’ not-for-profit services, which include food, accommodation, education, counselling, employment and health programs. I understand the difficult economic times we currently endure mean our charity budgets are perhaps less than they have been in years gone by, but rest assured, every dollar donated counts and could change somebody’s life forever. I would greatly appreciate your support for this important cause. The Vinnies CEO Sleepout happens for just one night, but it raises vital funds to support people all year round. Please feel free to make a donation at CEO SLEEPOUT - Rob Marino

As many of you know I represent the Arizona Professional Towing & Recovery Association. This year APTRA is trying something different for a fundraiser online. We have partnered with ZEFFY to assist us in this journey. Most of you know Towing Associations aren't government, they don't qualify for grants like the other stakeholders do. Not to say that there are grants out there, there are just not necessarily in the arena we play in. So, they run on volunteers, donations and membership to keep them operating and fund them. Unfortunately, there is not enough of all three. This is not just this association; it is most non-profit associations across the country. Donations of any amount can assist an association in their day-to-day operations. What would the donations be used for? operations, advocacy and education & training. As always out Slow Down, Move Over message is at the top of our list. I would appreciate your help during this giving season with a donation to APTRA. https://lnkd.in/gPydxHeR

Do help if you can

Over the past three years, I've been very fortunate to visit some of the hospitals that received our supplies and equipment. The impact something small can have is sometimes mind blowing. Here's an example of one of the stories shared with me on these visits: An expectant mother who lives 5 hours (walking) from the closest hospital, might easily choose to have her baby at home. However, if a complication arises and the family doesn't have a vehicle, there are not a lot of options for either mom or baby. In order to help combat infant/maternal mortality rates, hospitals are trying to have more mothers give birth there - so they are on call if needed. One of the things many doctors and nurses said brought moms in? Diapers and baby supplies. The expectant mother felt more confident in the hospital's ability to take care of both her and the infant when they had the basic supplies to do so. The reputation of the hospital goes up in the community, more moms come in to deliver there babies, and more babies survive. It's very obvious how the bigger stuff we send - OR lights, tables, anesthesia machines, infant incubators, etc - can have a huge impact on someone's life, but even the smaller items can have huge ripple effects. To give you an idea - $25 sends $500 worth of supplies or equipment. And that can literally mean the difference between life and death for someone. Please consider donating today and asking your employer if they can match your donation! #GivingTuesday

Have you written your will yet? It’s not hard, and this week is a good time to do it – because it’s 'Remember A Charity in your Will’ week. This is an annual celebration of the power and impact of legacy giving. Don’t know what that ‘legacy giving’ is? We can explain. Around £3 in every £10 donated to charity comes through a gift in someone’s will - a legacy gift. It makes a huge difference, and some of the nation’s best loved charities just wouldn’t exist without them. There are all kinds of reasons someone may choose to leave a gift to charity in their will. For example, as a thank you for the support they or a loved one has received; because they believe in the cause; because they want to leave something meaningful behind. You can choose any charity that’s close to your heart, whether that’s supporting arts and music, protecting the environment, pioneering life-saving treatment or supporting people in your local community through some of the toughest times in their lives. Whatever you can leave will make a difference. 💛 Find out more at https://lnkd.in/efQw3yx4 (And tick 'write my will' off your to-do list. Because if not now, when?) #CharityFundraising #LegacyGiving #CharityChampion #willanthropy #GiftsinWills
