𝐌𝐚𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚 𝐝𝐢𝐟𝐟𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞, 𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐛𝐚𝐜𝐤𝐩𝐚𝐜𝐤 𝐚𝐭 𝐚 𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐞! 💙 The Aviso Specialty team is proud to announce that Back Pack 4 Vic Kids has received a £5,000 ACT Community Grant to support their vital work providing essential items to children entering emergency care, often with just the clothes they're wearing. This funding will provide: ⭐ 79 My Essentials Packs ⭐ 188 Youth Outreach Packs ⭐ Support for a Guinness World Record attempt to procure 4,000 backpacks and duffle bags. ⭐ Ongoing commitment to the establishment of a tiny site—a specially fitted-out shipping container that allows emergency organisations quick access to essential packs in regional areas. From humble beginnings helping 540 children in 2012, BP4VK now supports over 6,300 children annually. Each pack includes toiletries, underwear, pyjamas, clothing, books, toys, activities, blankets, and comfort items. They also provide Santa Sacks at Christmas, school supplies for children suddenly changing schools, and support for those sleeping rough. Since September 2023, the Aviso Specialty VIC team has been volunteering monthly at their warehouse, packing emergency care packs and Santa Sacks. With over 16,000 Victorian children in out-of-home care on any given night, and numbers growing by 17% yearly, this support is more crucial than ever. Proud to partner with an organisation that is making a real difference. 🎒 #CommunitySupport #Volunteering #GivingBack #MakingADifference #ArdonaghCommunityTrust #AvisoSpecialty #EnvestGroup

🎅 Spread Joy with Community Holiday Traditions! 🕯️ The holidays are a wonderful opportunity to connect with your community and spread joy. Consider these engaging traditions: Volunteer Together: As a family, volunteer at a local soup kitchen or food bank to help those in need during the holiday season.  Participate in Giving Trees: Sponsor a family or purchase gifts for children through local giving tree programs, teaching the value of generosity.  Neighborhood Caroling: Gather friends and family to go caroling in your neighborhood, bringing festive cheer to your community.  Engaging in these activities fosters a sense of togetherness and highlights the true spirit of the season. How does your family give back during the holidays? Let us know in the comments! #CommunityTraditions #HolidayGiving #SpreadJoy #FamilyActivities #SeasonOfGiving

#ChannelOneMN is the recipient of a UCare Foundation grant, which will help us increase the number of people reached and helping eliminate barriers to access through prepared meals in local communities through our Kitchen Coalition program! Not everyone facing hunger has the home, health, or ability to use groceries a food bank offers, including students, seniors, and people experiencing homelessness. • Kitchen Coalition addresses these barriers by partnering with other organizations to serve up culturally connected, freshly prepared meals. With grants like UCare, Channel One can help provide 979 meals weekly to those who have the need for prepared meals, like the residents at the emergency Women's Shelter in Rochester. The promise of a meal is not only beneficial nutritionally, but helps these residents find community and peace of mind in the face of so much adversity. "Having meals readily available truly helps to foster a warm, homelike environment where everyone feels safe and welcome. Meals can be shared together at our large dining room table or in resident’s room, where they have their own microwaves."

Getting children involved in volunteering is a great way to teach them empathy, responsibility, and the importance of giving back to their community. Here are some ways to encourage children to volunteer: 🖍️ Find age-appropriate activities: Choose volunteer opportunities that are suitable for your child's age and abilities. Younger children can participate in simple activities like drawing cards for nursing home residents or helping to sort donated items. 🐾 Align with their interests: Find volunteer opportunities that match your child's interests. For example, if they love animals, consider volunteering at a local animal shelter or pet adoption event. 🎒 Participate in school or youth organization projects: Many schools and youth organizations, such as scouting groups, offer volunteer opportunities for children. Encourage your child to get involved in these projects. 👪 Make it a family activity: Plan a family volunteer day where everyone participates in a project together, such as cleaning up a local park or serving meals at a houseless shelter. Remember to choose volunteer activities that are safe, well-supervised, and appropriate for your child's age and maturity level. Encourage their involvement, but don't force them to participate if they are not comfortable or interested. 👨👩👧👦 #NationalVolunteerMonth #FamilyVolunteering #HENSLEE #peopleops
