I’m feeling the unrelenting devastation of Hurricane Helene in Asheville, NC and throughout the region, and accelerating impacts of climate change. So right now, I’m taking Mr. Rogers’ advice to “look for the helpers,” and working to be a helper myself. That comes easily to me when I am working with my own nonprofit clients, a little harder when thinking about a disaster across the country. But disaster relief experts say the best help is simple (and familiar). Donate Now. Can you join me in sending a donation to the groups below? If you're a nonprofit professional, can you encourage your network to support these and other organizations in the region? Great organizations are helping people with food, shelter and resources: Mutual aid nonprofit BeLoved Asheville - https://lnkd.in/gJmvPuFk Feeding the Carolinas - https://lnkd.in/gwi9jMdP MANNA FoodBank - https://lnkd.in/gv3tivVu   And those helping pets: Forsyth Humane Society - https://forsythhumane.org/ - is caring for 100 animals evacuated from Asheville Humane Society - https://lnkd.in/g3CEFwA7. They are both in need. Brother Wolf Animal Shelter - https://www.bwar.org/ was able to save all their animals but lost everything in the devastating floods. These are just a fraction of the dozens of effective nonprofits working on the ground. And let me know, what other disaster relief organizations are you supporting? #hurricanehelene #disasterrelief #givelocal #nonprofits

Only 2 more days until 30 of us from the UK branch of MacArtney Underwater Technology Group take on The Kiltwalk Aberdeen. There are 20 of us doing the Mighty Stride (18 Miles) and 10 doing the Wee Wander (4 Miles). We are doing this walk to help support Guide dogs and any donation you can make would be greatly received. Donations can be made at the following link. https://lnkd.in/eZ6YND-T Almost two million people in the UK are living with sight loss that has a significant impact on their daily lives. Of those, around 180,000 rarely leave their homes alone and lead lonely, isolated lives. Guide Dogs works for a world where people with sight loss are never left out of life, for a world where being blind or partially sighted is not what defines you. A world with enough support to make the challenges of sight loss no barrier to fulfilling hopes and dreams. #kiltwalk #guidedogs #charity #subsea #underwater

Indigenous Peoples' Day recognizes and celebrates the history and resilience of Native American people across the United States. In 2021 Oregon officially adopted Indigenous Peoples Day as a state holiday. The Five Oaks historical site is local to us here in Hillsboro, Oregon and creates a tangible connection to the history and lasting impact of the Donation Land Claim Act of 1850, a criticized act that was used to displace Native nations and Indigenous Peoples from desirable land and relinquish it to incoming settlers.   Tualatin Kalapuyans named these five oaks “Chatakuin”. The branches of these trees held host to many gatherings and served as a landmark for Native and early pioneer persons. Today, only one of the original 500-year-old trees remain, but the other four were planted from grafts of the original trees.   Learn More Here: https://lnkd.in/gw4M2PUe

The Winter Walk strives to create unity, magnifies kindness, and exemplifies the absolute best of our humanity. In our movement, there are no divisions visible, no conflicts brought to the fore - just pure love and a shared goal of lifting up those in need. In a time when our country feels so divided, this unity at our annual walk becomes more important than ever. By joining together, we can not only end homelessness but also strengthen our communities and our economy, and improve the quality of life for every person in our nation. However, we do face significant challenges: right now, too much of our funding is being used to put out the fires of a local and national crisis that has persisted for decades. We lack the capital, time, and resources to focus on prevention and to build the sustainable, supportive systems that people need to re-enter safe spaces, rebuild their lives, and eventually rejoin the mainstream economy. Winter Walk programs offer a clear path forward, but we need your help. ❄️ A Message of Love & Unity: https://lnkd.in/dGcuuab3

Feeling safe in your home, and actually BEING safe in your home, is one of the basic building blocks to succeed in other arenas. How can you learn or work effectively if you aren't feeling secure at home? Thanks to this amazing team for the work they did! Pest control services are misunderstood, but look at the effect it has!

We work towards a world in which pets are family and families do not have to choose between remaining housed and remaining with their pets. Ross Barker and Sara Maria Muriello from our Pet-Inclusive Housing Initiative, joined a powerful webinar with Don't Forget the Pets, supported by RedRover and Greater Good Charities, called "Mind the Housing Gap." Ross and Sara shared valuable knowledge, resources, and connected with fellow pet advocates working towards solutions for keeping people and pets together in housing. Learn more about this critical issue and how you can help. Watch the webinar replay: https://lnkd.in/eBmSCfDU

🙏❤️🌈 A Heartfelt Request from Soulhaven Foundation 🌈❤️🙏 Amazing Community & Supporters, In our continuous journey to spread holistic well-being and sustainable living, we’ve encountered a unique challenge that brings us to seek your collective wisdom and networks. As many of you know, Soulhaven Foundation is the beacon of our mission to nurture holistic lifestyles for the betterment of our community and the planet. Our dream is to extend our reach and impact through a digital sanctuary that reflects our mission and values. This is where we would like your help. We wish to secure the domain Soulhaven.org to establish a dedicated online home for our non-profit endeavors. Unfortunately, our attempts to acquire this domain through conventional means have not been successful. Despite our best efforts through GoDaddy’s brokering service, we’ve been unable to establish contact with the current holder, who is associated with Sonic ISP from an earlier period of domain hosting. This domain holds immense potential for union with our existing site, Soulhaven.com. It represents a significant step forward in uniting our holistic lifestyles business with our non-profit mission under the Soulhaven banner. We believe in the power of community and the incredible network of professionals on LinkedIn. If anyone has insights, connections, or advice on how we might reach out to the owner of Soulhaven.org or if there are alternative strategies we should consider, your guidance would be invaluable. Moreover, should the current holder see this message, we are open to discussing options that could benefit both parties, including a tax-deductible donation of the domain to Soulhaven Foundation, a 501(c)(3) organization. Together, we can make Soulhaven.org a reality, creating a space that fosters healing, growth, and holistic living for all. Thank you for any help, advice, or share you can offer to help us in this mission. Our hearts and hopes are aligned toward making a positive change, and with your help, we can make a significant stride toward that dream. May our journeys be blessed with peace, love, and rainbow light! 🙏❤️🌈🙌 Ms. Elizabeth Munoz Founder, Soulhaven Foundation 🌈 Join us in creating a haven for souls to flourish. 🌈 #SoulhavenFoundation #Healing #Unity #DomainJourney #Support #Nonprofit Sonic
