I joined an amazing organization - Families Forward Charlotte and they need YOU. 1️⃣ Help recruit Family Liaison mentors. Keys to being a great Family Liaison - having the time, being open to forming a new relationship with a family in our program, and approaching their situation with grace and understanding. No specific skills needed! I have attached a flyer that you can pass on to anyone interested. More information and links to sign up can also be found on our website: https://lnkd.in/eNdMjiVf A great way to share the information is from our social media pages. We don't have recent posts about being a Family Liaison but look for them over the coming months. 2️⃣ Share our need for child watch volunteers Volunteers will need to be background checked if 18 or older. Needs are primarily 5:30-8:30pm on Tuesdays and 10:30-1:30pm on Saturdays. A recent social media post about it can be found here. https://lnkd.in/eVH_RYiX 3️⃣ Share our need for meals Meals can be provided in multiple ways: -homemade or store bought frozen meals -prepared or purchased meals to be served at workshops (to children and/or adults). Link to a great example. https://lnkd.in/eVH_RYiX 4️⃣ Connect us with organizations or groups we can speak to community groups or clubs, churches, professional organizations, rotary clubs, etc. Connect us via email or schedule a meeting with the agency and one of our staff. Reach out to Carrie Christian to coordinate. 5️⃣ Help us thank our #volunteers! Write thank you notes or make phone calls to thank Family Liaison mentors or other volunteers. Let me know how many you want to commit to doing and which form you are most comfortable with and I will share the information needed with you. #charlottenc

There are so many ways you can help those less fortunate during the holiday season. Please contact me if you’d like more information on DASACC and how you can help!

With Wokeism, our children don't believe in their country. Does it also mean they don't believe in themselves? We use true stories from America's past to turn it all around. Can you help us do it? Learn more: https://lnkd.in/esdUH2mU #linkedin #ceo #funding

Keep your eye on this young man! He is going places! While we come from different generations we have a shared experience: Surviving trauma in foster care and adoptions. Some things don't change. Listen in as Karlos Dillon and I discuss our similarities, what we learned from our experiences, how we turned trauma into passion, and what can be done to help others in similar situations. https://lnkd.in/g-yw3sG3

We're ending the week with a pair of opportunities that are still open with Five Counties Children's Centre. One is urgent, so please take a look. Five Counties Children's Centre was founded by Rotary members who saw a need for a close clinic where children with disabilities could get treatment and therapy without parents/ caregivers driving to Toronto. Nearly 50 years later, the client list is in the six-thousands, with over 2000 wait-listed . With numbers like that, you can see how fundraising events are very important. Their Backyard Summer Social is coming up on the 22nd and they need help with set-up, operations, and tear-down. Because it's an adult-oriented event, the volunteers must be over 19 yrs old. The event is in the backyard of the centre, and accessible by public transit. And there will be snacks! We'll give you the event recruitment link right now so that you can contact Maddie: https://buff.ly/3Vge4XH If you're more of a sit-down-and-chat kind of person (or are busy on the 22nd) there is also a need for Donation Thankyou Callers. It's pretty much as described. People send money to Five Counties and bi-weekly for a couple of hours, you call those nice people back to thank them for that very important donation. And if you're unable to afford a donation yourself, this is a way you can contribute more than money. It's a remote opportunity and time-flexible. You will need a basic police check for this one, NOT the Vulnerable sector screening. This listing is on our Opportunities page. Five Counties is a vital part of our community, especially for anyone who has a disabled child in their care. Supports for these children help them thrive and grow, and shatter barriers themselves. See how you can help today. #CommunityBuilding #Inclusion #FUNdraising #ThankYou #SummerFun

What a heartwarming initiative by ArcelorMittal Nippon Steel India! It's truly inspiring to see the company's employees come together with a shared sense of purpose to uplift their local community. The 'Community Connect' CSR activity, in collaboration with Goodera, showcases the company's commitment to fostering inclusive environments and supporting the education of visually challenged children. The fact that over 60 employees from AM/NS Khopoli volunteered to create 220 Tactile Cards with Braille words is a testament to their compassion and desire to make a meaningful difference. These specialized educational tools will undoubtedly serve as an invaluable resource in helping visually impaired children learn and develop. It's remarkable how a simple yet impactful initiative like this can bring people together, cultivate a spirit of togetherness, and contribute to the betterment of the community. This is a shining example of how businesses can leverage their resources and workforce to create positive change and make a lasting impact. Kudos to ArcelorMittal Nippon Steel India for their thoughtful approach to corporate social responsibility and for empowering their employees to be agents of change. Initiatives like these not only benefit the targeted communities but also foster a deeper sense of purpose and fulfillment among the volunteers. Truly, an inspiring display of #SmarterSteels and #BrighterFutures.

How to Help with Maui Fire Relief I rarely post stuff like this on LinkedIn, but the fires in Maui are just beyond belief, and thousands of people and animals are displaced and need help since their homes have been destroyed. Appreciate any small donations you can make. Easy and reputable list below to make it easier to avoid the scam sites out there (I’m still a security guy at heart of course :) ) - To Help People: Hawaii Redcross accepts donations as little as $10 and even hotel points if you don’t have money to give. https://lnkd.in/gEGNAWrN - To Help Animals: Animal lovers can donate super easily to Maui Humane Society through their Amazon site or just drop off at their location in Kihei. Sounds like they can use dog and cat food, towels, leashes and collars, and dog beds. Here is the link to their Amazon account: https://lnkd.in/gdNbiJFd. seems they will ship same day for them so it can help fast! Thanks to all who have already donated to help - it will make an impact!
