60% of goods donated during disasters end up in landfills. Don’t do a random product drive. You can’t control what people will drop off. It often costs more to deliver / ship things to where it is needed. Don’t donate things that aren’t asked for. Panel discussion with Tracy Ganti with World Central Kitchen (Chef Andes’ relief organization that brings hot, comforting meals in the aftermath of a crisis), Kate Laepple Hertzog with Cencora, Chauncia Willis-Johnson with Institute for Diversity and Inclusion in Emergency Management and Jim Alvey at Good360

When natural disasters strike or citizens in the community are in need, there is often a call to donate to the cause. One way to protect your money and make sure it is going to the cause chosen, and is getting the most bang for its buck, is to do a little research before committing.

TIS’ THE SEASON OF GIVING – although S&L do it continuously: S&L are a Civil Engineering and Land Development Consultancy - or as we like to refer to it, COMMUNITY CREATORS. Every month we donate $1,000 to the GoGenerosity community. As a result of our ongoing partnership and generosity, we have donated over $31,000 (and counting) and 1,994 people (and counting) have been positively impacted!   GoGenerosity is a platform that enables and amplifies generosity and facilitates this direct to areas of our community that need it the most. This can include feeding, clothing and protecting the homeless, paying for medical procedures, bringing light to those with terminal illness, helping vulnerable children and women, supporting charities, community and voluntary groups. As an organization that helps shape our region and as people that live and work here (for 61 Years and counting), we feel it’s our duty to contribute to making our local community a better place for all.   For further information regarding our partnership and the GoGenerosity platform please visit: https://bit.ly/3q567Ji #landdevelopment #yourpropertyourenvironment #communitycreators

"The earth will not continue to offer its harvest, except with faithful stewardship." -St. John Paul II Happy #EarthDay! 🌍 It's the perfect opportunity to share how Catholic Social Services of Southern Nebraska is answering the call and leading the way in #sustainability (one of our core values!) and environmental responsibility. We invite you to join us in our efforts to be good stewards of our environment by donating new or used items to CSS. Our goal is to extend the lifecycle of your donations through regifting, reselling, or recycling them and therefore mitigating the potential of your items ending up in the landfill. ♻️ Client needs are our first priority. When you donate an item, we evaluate how it can help our clients the most- by either regifting it to a family in need of that specific item or by reselling it. All funds from resold items are then used to assist clients and families needing financial assistance for rent, utilities, medical bills, or fuel. If we cannot regift or resell your item, we recycle it so it can be repurposed and help the environment. Join us and together, we will make a #HopeInTheGoodLife difference! 💚🧡💙 Learn more at csshope.org.

Black Friday is a completely bizarre concept to me. On the one hand, it's an opportunity for products that are over hyped and way over priced to become affordable for the many.. especially in the sporting industry. But this then highlights the insane mark up and profits these companies are making generally if they are able to offer these ridiculous discounts. I'm an ambassador for a brand who have asked ambassadors to promote Black Friday sales and I just can't buy into it. However, the initiative here from Finisterre is something I could really buy into. There has to be a way to strip back the b****cks and offer sustainable and meaningful actions to days such as Black Friday, or Cyber Monday or whatever other marketing ploy there is. We're way past fast fashion, crazy discounts, marketing ploys that don't add benefit to any of us, we need to be better, chapeau Finisterre.

It’s allways a pleasure to see companies like Niowave, led by dynamic technology innovators, investing in communities that really need it like Lansing. Reindustrializing and revitalizing in a sustainable way, especially with world class technologies and high paying jobs, is critical if we want to continue to see the revitalization of middle America. Bravo and all the best wishes on your continued success and for all your doing for the local community as you develop products and materials that are literally saving lives. If you don’t follow Niowave, maybe have a look and follow their journey to full scale production of medical isotopes and other innovative technologies, right in the heartland of middle America.
