Medical Donations to Solomon Islands A Humble Plea In shadows deep where needs abound, We stand, though weary, on sacred ground. Yet gifts meant to heal can sometimes weigh, A burden unasked, in disarray. If you don’t need it, we likely don’t, What purpose does it serve, what hope to flaunt? A dumping site for well-meaning care, What does that say of us, and of you there? A plea I send on winds of grace, To governments, NGOs, and every place— Before your donations sail our way, Consider our needs, hear what we say. For every list you craft with intent, We ponder the weight, the time spent. How shall we dispose of what’s not required? In kindness, let’s ensure we’re not mired. Let donations rise from expressed demand, Bound to our needs, let us take your hand. With purpose aligned, together we thrive, Transforming goodwill into lives that revive. So think before sending your surplus anew, Let’s build a bridge, let’s start fresh and true. In unity’s light, let compassion steer, For every donation, let love persevere.

Share the Christmas Joy It's no secret that we are living in challenging times. We need to spread the JOY during this holiday season. The dictionary defines "joy" as "a feeling or state of great delight or happiness." Here are some ideas on how to share and spread joy in your community. "The Secret To Living Is Giving" - Tony Robbins * Donate toys to underprivileged children. * Give where you live - Look for local charities that could use your talents. * Take books, games, and puzzles to senior centers. * Deliver a Christmas meal to a shut-in. * Donate hats, gloves, and winter clothes to your local homeless shelter. * Sponsor a World Vision child - A monthly donation will positively impact a child's life. * Deliver treats to your local animal shelter. *Mail care packages to military service men and women thanking them for their service. * Play Secret Santa to a needy family. Blessings to you all! Bill Roth

The Christmas holiday season is one of my favorites because it encourages us to think of others, share more kindness, and it gives us an opportunity to celebrate many ideas and beliefs we have in common. Christianity, Judaism, Islam, and Agnostics have a great deal in common. We have notable similarities in notions of sacrifice, good works, hospitality, peace, justice, pilgrimage, and charity. My invitation to all of you during this season, as well as during 2025 is to turn down the chattering voices of the media outlets and social media who are paid to promote the shocking, the controversial, and the divisive, and instead choose to focus on the things we have in common. In my experience, we will usually find that we have a lot more in common than we originally thought if we take the time to talk to each other, ask sincere questions, and listen with the intent to find common ground. If you are looking for a fun way to make a charitable donation and make it a fun experience for your family and friends, then I would encourage you to check out the link below and look for a Light The World Giving Machine near you. It provides you with an opportunity to purchase items for local or international charities. Imagine swiping your credit card at a vending machine—but instead of buying a candy bar for yourself, you’re buying a sheep for a family in a third-world country. Or a polio vaccine. Or a pair of shoes. Or meals for a local Food Bank. With the #LightTheWorld Giving Machines, that’s exactly what happens. The Giving Machines provide a way for people to make the Christmas season a little more meaningful for themselves and for countless others. https://lnkd.in/g25xN4XY Now for your Christmas story about a rifle, shoes, and a little candy.

Help Us Train Life-Changing Dogs Like Wrangler 🐾 Today is the day to make a difference! 💙 This Giving Tuesday, we're spotlighting Paula and her service dog, Wrangler, as they practice an essential skill: retrieving objects.

With your donation, you’re not just helping train service dogs—you’re creating partnerships that transform lives. 🦴 🐾 Join us this Giving Tuesday!

What’s missing at Bridging? BLANKETS, especially the bed sized for twin, full, and queen beds. As client appointment levels rise, so does our need to adequately stock the shelves for shopping. We need 300 bed sized blankets available every week, for a total of 15,000 donated each year! When we say “blanket”, we mean comforters, bed spreads, and blankets. They cover a mattress completely, provide warmth, and support a good night’s sleep! Gently used and new donations are accepted. How can you help during the September Blanket Blitz? Continue to donate from your own home. Tell others in your network and neighborhood that we are in desperate need. Coordinate a blanket collection at work, school, or in your faith community. See Joel or Danyelle about hosting a blanket drive. Reminder: Yes, we accept throw sized blankets! But, we have a healthy supply of those and isn’t our greatest need.

🌟 Volunteers of America-Texas | Continues to be one of the Mint Female Federal Bureau of Prisons programs nationwide. An initiative aimed at revolutionizing the reentry experience for women in federal custody. Here's why it's a game-changer: 1️⃣ Tailored Support: The Mint Program is specifically designed to meet the unique needs of women in federal custody. From trauma-informed care to gender-responsive programming, we're providing tailored support to help women thrive during and after incarceration. 2️⃣ Empowerment Through Education: Education is key to unlocking opportunities. That's why the Mint Program offers a wide range of educational opportunities, from GED classes to vocational training, empowering women to build brighter futures for themselves. 3️⃣ Comprehensive Reentry Services: Our program offers a comprehensive array of reentry services, including job placement assistance, housing support, and substance abuse treatment. By addressing the root causes of incarceration, we're helping women successfully reintegrate into society. 4️⃣ Community Engagement: We believe in the power of community. The Mint Program fosters connections between women in custody and community organizations, creating a support network that extends far beyond prison walls. 5️⃣ Promoting Rehabilitation and Reconciliation: At the heart of the Mint Program is a commitment to rehabilitation and reconciliation. By providing women with the tools and support they need to heal and grow, we're paving the way for brighter futures and stronger communities. 🌱 Women in prison are often the primary or sole caregivers of children prior to incarceration. For offenders who will give birth during their incarceration, there are two programs offered to assist these mothers before, during, and after childbirth; these include Mothers and Infants Together (MINT) and the Residential Parenting Program (RPP). The MINT Program is a community residential program that aims to assist offenders during pregnancy.
