Pets come to us needing a miracle, and they get one because of you. Your support creates those miracles — turning compassion into lifesaving action and giving hope to pets who need it most. The season of giving is here, and we're kicking off today with an incredible opportunity: a $10,000 match for the next 10 days ONLY, thanks to the generosity of Highland Homes! Every dollar you give now is doubled — which means every gift goes TWICE as far in creating lifesaving miracles for pets in need. ✨ Will You Make Miracles for pets in need today?

Today is #GivingTuesday, an annual day of giving that follows the consumer holidays of Black Friday and Cyber Monday. After snagging great deals on gifts or tech for yourself, take today to reflect on where you can financially give back this holiday season. I may be biased, but 412 Food Rescue is such a great option, since you're supporting hundreds of nonprofits with your dollars. As a food rescue, we partner with food retailers to pick up their surplus food (that's still fresh and safe to eat) and deliver it to local nonprofits serving the community – safe houses, schools, housing authorities, LGTBQIA+ programs, churches, etc. Taking off the burden of where someone's next meal is coming from means they can focus on other things like caregiving, job search, addiction recovery or their mental health. A cool byproduct is also that keeping this surplus food out of the landfill mitigates harmful greenhouse gases like methane from being released into the atmosphere. Your donation doesn't just deliver food, but also access, security, and sustainability. It's creating a better future for us all. Donate today 💚 https://lnkd.in/dAFNegqe

Honoring Selflessness: Beyond Company Volunteer Days Today, on Pat Tillman's death anniversary, his legacy of selfless service resonates deeply. While company volunteer days are fantastic - fostering team spirit and giving back - true selflessness extends beyond those designated hours. Imagine the impact if we all carried that spirit into our communities every day. There's an elderly neighbor who could use help with groceries. A local animal shelter overflowing with animals longing for a walk. Maybe a park cleanup neglected after a long winter. These are the countless opportunities where your time can make a world of difference. Selflessness isn't about grand gestures. It's about looking around and identifying a need you can fulfill, big or small. It's about lending a hand without expecting anything in return. Pat Tillman walked away from a lucrative NFL career to serve his country. His sacrifice reminds us that true fulfillment often comes from putting others first. So, today, and every day, let's honor his legacy by: Seeking out volunteer opportunities in our communities: Find a cause that resonates with you and donate your time. Looking for everyday ways to help: Offer to help a struggling colleague, hold the door for someone with their hands full, or simply offer a kind word to someone who seems down. Remember, even the smallest acts of selflessness can have a ripple effect, creating a more connected and compassionate community. Let's strive to be the change we want to see, one selfless act at a time.

As a bit of balance to the usual noise. With the 🐣 Easter school holidays 🐣looming large, many families find themselves more stretched than usual and a lot of kids end up going hungry. So in the spirit of always looking for the helpers, please do consider (this includes companies) supporting and/or elevating organisations working on the ground to combat this reality as well as support kids in school who are not receiving meals. Some links below, but please do comment with more. ✨ Magic Breakfast - offers over 200,000 breakfasts every day to children and young people in schools across England and Scotland.  https://lnkd.in/ecGbGcHJ ✨ FareShare - is a UK national network of charitable food redistributes, made up of 18 independent organisations.
