Join Us! The Grassroots Movement What's Your 50? provides FUN and EASY ways to help.... and we'd love for you to JOIN US! We are answering ONE simple question: “What is YOUR way of helping ... in an increment of 50?" We've been having so much fun coming up with our own unique ways to make an impact in an increment of 50. 50 items, 50 minutes, or 50 letters, YOUR 50 can be ANYTHING. Want to help with HUNGER? Donate 50 cans of tomato sauce or spend 50 minutes baking a casserole. Care about EDUCATION? Donate 50 boxes of crayons or 50 gently used books. Always loved DOGS? Collect 50 gently used collars and leashes. These "50's" can be incorporated into a TEAM BUILDING exercise, a way to connect with your coworkers or customers, perhaps advertise your business with a philanthropic edge, or an opportunity to spend time with your kids this summer and teach them a little about giving back. Join the fun and share your idea with us! What's YOUR 50? #WY50 #WYFifty #Philanthropy #GiveBack #Charity #Feedthehungry #teambuilding #ittakesavillage

Thanksgiving is a time for gratitude, but it’s also an opportunity to give back to those in need. If you want to spread kindness and generosity this holiday season, consider volunteering your time. Local shelters and food banks often need extra hands during the holidays, so spending a few hours serving meals or organizing food drives can make a significant difference for those less fortunate. Another meaningful way to give back is by donating food or essentials. Gather non-perishable food items, toiletries, or warm clothing to donate to your local charity or shelter. Every little bit helps! Additionally, consider supporting local businesses for your Thanksgiving needs. By choosing to shop local, you’ll not only find unique items but also help your community thrive. If you have a workplace or community group, you could also start a giving tree. Organize a giving tree where people can donate gifts for families in need. If you have specific skills, think about sharing them with others. Whether it’s cooking, tutoring, or crafting, offering your skills to those who might benefit can create a lasting impact. Let’s make this Thanksgiving more than just a feast. How will you give back this year?

Does giving really make you happy? A series of studies found that neurons in the portion of the brain associated with a sense of satisfaction start firing when a person chooses to donate their money or time. Volunteering is a great way to give and is truly appreciated by the recipient. These are a few ways to help out: 🐶 Walk dogs at a local animal shelter. 📚 Help kids with their homework. 🎶 Offer free lessons in something you’re good at. 🧵 Offer to sew up old clothes and stuffed toys. 💻 Provide IT help to local adults. 📖 Read to kids in local hospitals. 👵 Spend time with senior citizens in local senior centres. 🎉 Find a local fundraiser and offer to help. 🤝 Offer your skills to a non-profit organization. Or, become a member at the Rotary Club of Barrie. There are always new and exciting events we host and we would love to have volunteers like you! #RotaryClubBarrie #Volunteer

Take a moment to pause. Look out the window. Notice what's outside. Where can you glimpse nature just... being? Watch as the leaves move in the breeze, or the sun shines on the world. Listen as the birds chirp in the trees, or the rain drips on the ground. Notice yourself here, a part of nature, a part of this interconnected web. Take a moment to breathe. To just 'be with.' To spend a moment where nothing is expected of you, just that you are your true nature, exactly as you are. Taking moments like these to just pause throughout our day, notice what's going on, and then move on, can be grounding and supportive in a world that feels in constant crisis. If you found this practice helpful, please consider making a donation to our EOFY campaign so that we can continue to bring our work to more people and communities: https://buff.ly/4bwiele
