Supporting Our School Community: Food Bank Drive! Every family deserves access to the essentials. Unfortunately, some in our community face challenges in securing basic needs like food, toiletries, and uniforms. Our school food bank is dedicated to supporting these families. We provide a variety of non-perishable food items, essential toiletries, and gently used uniforms for students in need. Here's how you can contribute: Donate non-perishable food items: Canned goods, pasta, rice, and shelf-stable pantry staples are always in high demand. Donate toiletries: Personal hygiene products like soap, shampoo, deodorant, and feminine hygiene products are essential for everyone's well-being. Donate gently used uniforms: Help ensure all students feel confident and prepared with appropriate school attire. Make a financial contribution: Donations allow us to purchase additional items. Together, we can create a more supportive environment for all families in our school community. #SchoolFoodBank #CommunitySupport #HelpingFamilies

How many mugs, cups, and bowls do you really need? Pull them all out of the cupboard and set aside your 12 favorites. Now, donate at least 25% of what's left. You'll never miss them. Do the same with your Tupperware. Match the lids with bottoms and toss anything missing its mate. #LiveLoveLeander #LeanderChamberofCommerce #KeepAustinOrganized #KeepingAustinOrganized #organized #declutterbee #professionalorganizer #homeorganizer #organizedhome #organizedkitchen #kitchenorganization

The good news is that one of the easiest ways to help is by donating food and essential items to those in need. Donate non-perishable food (canned goods, pasta, rice) to food banks or shelters or directly to people you come across who are in need. clothes and toiletries are always in demand — consider donating clothing and personal hygiene items. Volunteer to serve meals at local shelters or soup kitchens, offering a warm meal to someone in need. Small gestures can create big changes in someone’s life.

I shot this film a few days ago, and as with such events, it’s over before you know it. You have to move quickly to capture everything needed to stitch together a meaningful message. It's at times like these that I often take for granted the varied skills, experiences and sensibilities you can only pick up over time. Knowing that it was released, I pulled up YouTube excitedly this morning to watch it (there’s something about seeing your work out there in the open), and in the process I was fed two skippable ads. On watching them, it struck me how the democratization of creative tools—something as simple as a phone camera—while positive in theory, has contributed to a dystopian reality where we are surrounded by really bad content that, in this case, YouTube is being paid a lot of money to propagate. It reminds me of the time Comic Sans was seen in all the wrong places, because people suddenly had access to a power but lacked the responsibility or the sensibility to wield it. One argument is that it's now easy to stand out amidst the mediocre when you create something of quality.  I often tell people starting out in the creative field, surround yourself with good reference material, not only does it subliminally affect your skills, it's the only internal barometer you can build over time to honestly critique your own work. My fear with inundating the market with sub standard communications and marketing is that it will eventually lead to a dumbing down effect on the market.  That’s a scary prospect. What do you think?
