Did you know that someone who is food insecure misses, on average, 177 meals a year? This equates to 8 meals a week. By donating $58, you can provide food to a child that is food insecure for 2 weeks.

Looking forward to speaking at the upcoming @ACEC New York 2024 Winter Conference January 28-30th at Albany Capital Center (https://lnkd.in/e7nTkYNa). Hope you can join Robert Brewer, Phillip Ross, Michael Vardaro, Paul Boyce and me for a lively discussion about "What You Need to Know About ESOPs for Engineers." We’ll be helping engineering firms take advantage of the new law in New York State that allows ESOPs to own up to and including 100% of a firm. We will cover: 1) how an ESOP can help you meet your goals in a) succession, b) recruitment, c) retention – and d) enhancing the long term sustainability of a firm; 2) what makes a good ESOP candidate; 3) what are the tax benefits you keep hearing about for the company and the sellers; 4) how to structure and finance an ESOP transaction; and 5) related legal issues. Plenty of time for Q&A – my favorite – both during and following the session.

Happy Giving Tuesday!! I just wanted to take a moment to thank everyone on this platform who has liked, shared, or commented on our posts– it has genuinely made a huge difference in our growth this year. As the founder of this organization, I've witnessed firsthand the staggering disparity between food excess and scarcity in our country. Nearly 40% of our food supply goes to waste, while simultaneously, 44 million Americans face the challenge of food insecurity. At Sharing Excess, we're dedicated to solving this paradox by rescuing surplus food and delivering it to communities in need. Our mission is not just about providing food; it's about revolutionizing food sharing to overcome the logistical barriers that often hinder food rescue and redistribution. I know you’re probably being bombarded with Giving Tuesday requests from many amazing organizations– but we need your support. I hope that our work stands out as being a highly impactful use of your donations today, as we are able to provide 160 meals for every $10 donated. Your contributions will enable us cover the costs of transportation and allow us to partner with grocery stores, wholesalers, and farmers, ensuring that perfectly good food reaches those who need it most, rather than ending up in landfills. Every donation up to $10,000 is matched today thanks to a generous donor. No worries at all if you can't donate, even sharing this post helps a ton. Much love and thank you all for your continued support and generosity. Here's the link to donate: https://lnkd.in/gqPKHQAQ #GivingTuesday #EndHunger #FoodRescue #Nonprofit #SharingExcess

This resonated a lot. Development Trusts shouldn’t have to be stepping into the realm of housing, public transport, net zero transition, community ownership of shops, pubs and land in order to get the outcomes that their communities need - but when the public sector and private sector aren’t delivering those outcomes, who takes up the slack? The Third sector, of course. But we’re not resourced to do it and we can’t do it alone, so it’s exhausting. A new model of partnership working across the sectors is needed.
