🎈 Digital Communications Creations is celebrating another anniversary! Raritan Food Pantry (RFP) launched their website three years ago shortly after the opening of their needs-based food pantry in Raritan, NJ. The dual-language website receives an estimated 2K visitors annually and features necessary information for the pantry's volunteers and those seeking assistance in English and Spanish. Many of our community members are facing food insecurity, so it's important that those in need can easily access and understand the services available to them. RFP's non-profit funding is designated for basic operating purposes, leaving no room for any other spend. As with any business, a website has become a necessity, so it was a special opportunity for DCC to be able to donate the site's initial development and to continue to support RFP by donating the site's annual maintenance fees, totaling $1,500 over the three year period, to keep it up and running, ensuring it continues to provide necessary information to the community. DCC believes non-profit organizations are an integral part of any thriving community. Having the opportunity to support this vital organization to enhance their presence is key to achieving the DCC mission. #digitalmarketing #smallbusinessmarketing #njfoodbank #smallbusinessmarketing

I have 2 things for you to ponder: 1 - Last week I was helping welcome people to the Food Pantry for our Wednesday late afternoon/evening hours. In line were people who work in our community, coming after work to shop. I know this because they had uniforms and nametags from area businesses. Some had their kids with them, tired from a long day at school and/or day care. And everyone one of them depend on what is on these shelves to feed their families. 2 - Some of you might remember the panic you felt when you went to the grocery store early in the pandemic and found the thing that you needed unavailable. If you had to shop the food pantry and it was your only option because you were too short on cash from paying rent and all other life expenses to buy food and you got there and there wasn't much on the shelves - can you imagine the fear and panic? The good news is - that as a community - we can actually make it different. We can't change the dynamics that are causing people to need the pantry. (I don't have any tricks in my back pocket to change the economy, to change the housing shortage, to change the cost of day care or someone's income). But we can donate money to a food pantry or buy food to donate and fill shelves. That is in our collective power. I challenge you to to think of a way to make a difference today, and next week and the following week. Even if it's small, it will matter to someone. I know you all and you are a creative caring bunch. If you are looking for ideas or have ideas, your links are below <3
This is a photo of our pantry shelves at the end of a typical day. For over 40 years, we have provided food for people in our community without ever turning anyone away who met our eligibility requirements. For the first time in our history, we can no longer meet the need with our current resources. We have placed limits on how much food people can take, but we are still running out of food every week.We need your help to bridge the gap!

This year at Christmas, SRL has chosen to support Give Food, a UK charity that’s making a tangible difference by combining data with action to address local and structural food insecurity. Through their innovative approach, they can track and showcase the impact of donations in real terms. For example, the funds from SRL can: Deliver 1 to 1.1 tonnes of food and supplies and provide a detailed online dashboard showing the weight, number of items, and calories donated, along with maps of food bank locations receiving the supplies. Every penny counts. With 100% of donations going directly to food and supplies, their transparency and efficiency are helping make a real difference in the lives of those who need it most. Let’s continue to work together to ensure no one goes hungry. #GiveFood #FoodInsecurity #Charity #MakingADifference

🌟 Ever wondered what happens to a tin of beans when you donate it? Here's the journey of one tin from your hands to those in need: 1️) Buy a tin – It all starts with you! You purchase a tin of beans and decide to make a difference. 2️) Donate the tin – You drop it off at one of our collection points, knowing it'll help someone in need. 3️) We sort the tin – Our amazing volunteers sort and organise all donated tins by date and type, ensuring we’re rotating our stock effectively 4️) We put the tin in our community supermarket – The tin takes its place on the shelves of our community supermarket, where those facing tough times can access it. 5️) The tin then goes to those in need – Finally, the tin of beans ends up in the basket of someone who needs it, providing them with a warm, nourishing meal.

We now estimate that we would need to spend twice what we originally budgeted to spend on food this year to meet the ongoing need. This leaves us with a critical gap between the amount of food people in our community need and the amount of food we can provide. Referring people to other food pantries is not the answer, since they are all facing the same critical challenges we are. It is a very difficult and disturbing truth for all of us. While we are deeply concerned, we remain hopeful. We have a generous community, tremendous volunteers, and a skilled and committed staff. Together we can make sure people in our community have the most basic and critical of all needs met and that our neighbors don’t have to experience hunger. You can help by sharing this message in your circles, and also by making a commitment to help today. Increase your giving, make your first financial gift, become a Circle of Hope monthly giver (see below for a link to help you with these), or purchase items from our Amazon wish list. https://lnkd.in/gq2K9EDj This isn't a short term problem with short term answers. But every action makes a difference.
For the first time in our 40-year history, our food pantry can no longer meet the need with our current resources. Visits to our pantry have tripled over the last two years. We are running out of food every week for the households who rely on us for basic food - 75% of them have children. There are enough resources in our community to address this problem and we have the ability to deliver them. Please give TODAY to help us purchase food so people in our community don’t have to experience hunger >>> https://lnkd.in/gqducqPf #middletonwi #middletonwisconsin #madisonwi #madisonwisconsin #danecounty #foodpantry #foodsecurity #foodinsecurity #nonprofit #charitableorganization #hunger #endhunger

Food Drive for "The Sisters Keepers" is still under way! We are half way through April and would love to see even more donations come through our doors! According to an article from WENY, Catholic Charities provided the following statistics: "According to Catholic Charities, in 2023, there were 1,357 distinct individuals who experienced homelessness and received services in Chemung County. 317 of those individuals were under the age of 18..." The need is great, and numbers are likely to have grown since then! You can order from Amazon via our Wishlist, Wal-Mart, Instacart, Costco, BJ's and Sam's Club to have your donation shipped directly to our door, or, you can drop off to us, right here at Image Packaging. We appreciate all of our fabulous donors that have helped make a difference in the lives of others! Thank you! https://lnkd.in/g-tHKmch #philanthropy #sponsors #volunteer #opportunity #food #foodservice #donate #helpwanted #socialmediamarketing #digitalmarketing #online #delivery #deliver #promote #advertising #advertisingsolutions #notforprofit #nonprofit #communitydevelopment #communitygrowth #growth #community #mindfulness #love #sharing #giving #online #corporate #organizations #grants #awareness #help #helpwanted #helpneeded #socialservices #socialissues #charity #charities #unity #unite

Dominations needed… step up.
FOOD DONATIONS NEEDED! Some of you may know but the food stamp office in Memphis is months behind on processing and the men and women in our half way houses who have just come out of treatment depend on that until they can get their feet underneath them. If anyone feels led to help with this, PLEASE comment and Matt or I will coordinate getting. We also need cleaning supplies, coffee, etc. If you’re not close enough to bring food, I’m putting a link in here for online donations and we will get them food from that. Just put in “Food” in the notes section. THANK YOU!🙏🏻 FlandersFields.org/donate

There's no way we're the only #promotionalproducts company that has random samples and redundant stock lying around the place. So if you're a promo house (or any business that has goods people would want to buy) please have a summer clear-out of all those forgotten shelves and donate to Barnardo's. It's easy, they'll come and collect it - even one box. Instructions in the post below ⬇ #promotionalproducts #donate #givingfeelsgood #kentbusiness
Calling all businesses who deal in goods - do you end up with random supplier samples, leftovers from orders and odd discontinued items lurking on shelves? Well, Barnardo's can help you clear away all those things - it's free and easy. You just get in touch with them and they'll let you know a date when one of their vans can collect - all you have to do is put the goods into boxes. Easy peasy. It doesn't matter if it's only a few things, we've donated just one box many times - but last week we were able to fill 3 boxes full of tote bags, notebooks, pens and flasks. Items do not need to be in their original packaging but they do need to be in good condition so that Barnardo's can sell them in their shops - so unused end-of-line goods and odd samples are perfect. Reach out to Fathima Sulaiman from the corporate Gifts in Kind team and she'll get straight back to you. #charity #donate #dogood #givingiseasy #coporategiving

Did you know Food Forward has a win-win-win business model? That means our organization is a win for the community, a win for the environment, and a win for the produce industry! And at the same time, we manage to keep our operations financially efficient. In 2023 we kept our cost to recover and distribute produce at approximately $.07/lb and returned a social impact value of $168 million to communities across the region. Check out the 2023 Annual Impact Report to see how we did it all! https://bit.ly/44ImvQ1 #BuildingGenerationalHealth #sharetheabundance #giveback #foodforward #foodwaste #zerowaste #cultivate #community #volunteer #donate #nonprofit #fundraising #communityengagement #foodjustice #dogood #makeadifference #foodrecovery #donation #instagood #bethechange #kindness #joyfulness #giving #foodinsecurity #communityfirst #helpothers #losangeles #california
