As #HospiceCareWeek comes to an end, we want to highlight the vital work of our #HospiceShopHeroes 👇 💜 Rowcroft plays a key role in delivering vital end-of-life care to 2,500 patients and their loved ones across South Devon each year. 📈 However, we’re facing increasing financial pressures due to many factors including rising costs, a national drop in charitable giving, low and stagnating government funding, and a growing demand for end-of-life care. 👩⚕️ These challenges underscore the critical need for community support and funding to ensure the continuation of important services. By visiting and donating to our Rowcroft shops, YOU play a crucial role in ensuring we can continue to deliver end-of-life care across your local community.

If you follow the Public Interest Law Center's work in areas like housing, public education, and voting, you may not be as familiar with our Garden Justice Legal Initiative. Community gardens are critical anchors in Philadelphia's Black and Brown neighborhoods. They have been shown to increase access to fresh produce, improve air quality, and significantly reduce gun violence and overall crime. Yet in many gardens, the neighborhood residents who steward the land do not have legal title. Many gardens sit on parcels that are at risk of being lost at a tax foreclosure sale to developers or real estate speculators. The Public Interest Law Center represents non-profit gardens seeking legal access to the land they have been maintaining, in some cases for decades. We use litigation, advocacy, community education, and organizing strategies to preserve Philadelphia green space. As you prepare to make decisions about your year-end donations, please consider the Public Interest Law Center. Growing justice is what we do here. You can support us at pubintlaw.org/donate.

‘Tis the season to give back This year at People & Purpose, we’re taking a different approach to Christmas. Instead of physical gifts, we’re focusing on giving back to those who need it most. We’re proud to support two incredible charities: Foodbank Australia – helping provide essential meals to families and individuals who are facing hunger and food insecurity. Orange Sky Australia– delivering practical support like clean laundry, warm showers, and connection for people experiencing homelessness. Why these charities? Foodbank and Orange Sky are doing life-changing work every day, especially during the holiday season when the need is even greater. We hope this inspires you to think about giving back, too. If you were planning to give gifts this year, consider donating to these amazing causes instead. Your contribution, no matter the size, can make a real difference. Let’s come together to spread kindness, compassion, and hope this Christmas.
