As you grow your business, connections within the community are key. I enjoy volunteering with nonprofit organizations and other entities. I've found this to a beneficial way for me to learn new things, connect with diverse individuals and create opportunity which helps my business flourish. Volunteering is another avenue of networking. #buildyourbusiness #growthroughvolunteering #connectbysupporting #shareyourtalents #helpothers #communitysupport #divastrongmedia #nonprofitlove #networkwithpurpose #communityconnections

Investing in our community is not just about financial contributions; it's about actively engaging and giving back in meaningful ways. Today, our sales leadership team exemplified this commitment by swapping computers and meetings for flowers, mulch, rakes, and shovels, partnering with the City of St. Charles, MO to beautify a part of our city. At Krey Distributing Company, we understand the importance of leading by example and fostering a culture of giving back. By dedicating our time and efforts to this volunteer project, we not only improved the physical appearance of our community but also strengthened our team bond over a shared mission for the betterment of others. It's not just about selling beer; it's about being an active and responsible member of the communities we serve. Whether it's sponsoring local events, supporting charitable organizations, or volunteering our time, we are committed to making a positive impact beyond just our business operations. We encourage everyone to find ways, big or small, to give back to their communities. Together, we can create a brighter future for all - a future with more cheers. 🍻 #CommunityEngagement #CorporateSocialResponsibility #Volunteerism #TeamBuilding #MakingADifference

"We didn't include our local community in our last strategic planning process and they noticed." A nonprofit said this to me recently with regret. One of their goals is to grow their local community support but they did not listen to them when deciding what to do next. They missed the opportunity to > Engage their community's enthusiasm for the organization > Learn about the community's needs and interests AND > Build buy-in for the new ideas the org wants to implement 🛑 This is what they forgot. 🛑 Listening isn't about letting others make decisions for you - it's about making informed decisions that include your community. Here's what I told them; If your community is a part of your goals you NEED to listen to them. When you do, you'll have the knowledge of HOW to keep them engaged and active in the ways that help your mission. While it's never too late to include your community in your decision-making, the longer you wait the farther you will be from succeeding your community-dependent goals. How do you include your community in decisions that are dependent on them?

#FAQ Q: Can I be a SPIRIT NYS mentor? A: No We get asked this question a lot by people who are interested in volunteering. The short answer is usually no. The long answer is that our mentors are staff at our partner schools. When arrangements occur to offer our program at a school, one of the employees agrees to guide the students who enroll in SPIRIT NYS. This is usually a school social worker, coordinator, or counselor. The good news is that there are other ways to volunteer, such as organizing a supply drive and supporting fundraisers.
