Support a Child in Need This Christmas Is your business looking for a meaningful way to give back this holiday season? At Village of Hope Charities, we partner with organizations—both local and beyond the Seacoast area—to help fulfill Christmas wishes for children in need. No matter where you're located, your company can make a difference! Whether you’re a small team or a large organization, this is a wonderful opportunity to come together and support a child who might not otherwise have a joyful holiday. Here’s how your team can get involved: -Adopt a child or family and work together to fulfill their wish list. -Purchase gifts from our Amazon or Target wish lists for a simpler way to give back. -Get matched with children based on your team’s preferences—there are options for every business size. Not local? No problem! We offer remote adoption options to ensure every child gets a special Christmas, no matter where your company is based. If you’re interested in making a real impact this season, visit our website, https://lnkd.in/eUizKnYg, or reach out to Jessica Sutton, ALMI, FLMI, ACS for more details. Let’s work together to spread joy and hope! #CorporateGiving #GiveBack #HolidayGiving #ChristmasCharity #VillageOfHopeCharities #SupportAChild #MakeADifference

It’s that time, y’all—#GivingTuesday has arrived, the nonprofit world’s rebuttal to the consumerist nightmare of Black Friday. While Giving Tuesday is recognized globally, for me, it symbolizes the profound impact of grassroots community support—the belief that, together, we can effect real, lasting change. Big Big Table Community Café is proof of this power. In a world that prioritizes profit over people, spaces like ours are rare—when they should be the norm. Food insecurity exists not because of scarcity, but because of systemic inequities. At BBT, we are committed to fostering a space where mutual aid and community care take precedence over market logic. Because EVERYONE deserves a seat at the table. Community work is becoming increasingly difficult to sustain. If you are willing and able, please consider supporting Big Big Table today. This is about more than charity—it’s about solidarity, dignity, and justice.

And remember… it’s better to give than to receive—especially when it’s tax deductible ;) #GivingTuesday #FoodJustice #CommunityCare #SolidarityNotCharity #BuffaloNY #NonprofitImpact #PayItForward #EverybodyEats #MutualAid #DignityForAll #SupportLocalNonprofits #EndFoodInsecurity #BuffaloNY #SocialJustice #BuildingCommunity

It’s that time of year again! The season of Giving. And as the holidays approach, we’re filled with gratitude for the incredible support you’ve shown us all year long. Now, as we enter our most critical fundraising season, we’re asking for your help to make an even bigger impact. With less than two weeks until Giving Tuesday, we wanted to share the many ways you can contribute this giving season. Consider making a year-end gift by December 31. Your donation fuels our mission—providing daily warm meals, a safe space, and hope to neighbors facing food insecurity and homelessness. Did you know? Year-end contributions may also be tax-deductible, offering you meaningful tax benefits while supporting a cause you care about. Stay tuned for more information on how to give! Together, we’ve served tens of thousands of meals this year, but the need continues to grow. Let’s make a difference this holiday season. #seasonofgiving #endofyear #nonprofit #givingtuesday #stockmsonday #giving #goodcause #donations #foodinsecurity #housinginsecurity #unhoused #helpothers #neighbors #montgomerycountymd #dmv

It is time to act.

Thank you team Assura plc for helping us add that magical touch to our bundles to show the families that people care. I often think of the smiles that these bags generate, the childs smile opening the bags to lots of gorgeous items picked especially for them, and the added hair accessories, toys, toiletries. ‘Mummy aren’t we so lucky!’ Was the response of one 6 yr old girl on receipt of her items, ecstatic about her new toothbrush with her favourite Trolls cartoon character on it. She made it her mission to check out what was in her older brothers bag too to make sure he felt equally as special. I think of the relief their mum must feel, just hours earlier worried about how she was going to keep her children warm this winter, to receiving these items knowing they are now sorted, and have an invite to access further support as her children grow. Our community make providing this vital safety net a breeze. However funding our work is very challenging at the moment and it’s a very worrying time for our small charity as we are trying to secure ongoing operational space after our premises in Stretford gets demolished in 2025. If our work resonates with you or your companies values, get in touch, we’d love to have a chat about how we can work together to ensure all children have the basics they need for healthy childhood development, regardless of their families financial position - because let’s face it - the basics of home safety, warmth and developmental essentials shouldn’t be reserved just for those that can afford it. #earlychildhood #childhooddevelopment #Babybank #smallcharity #fundraising #CSR #ESG #teamvolunteering #bigimpact #trafford
