East Bay Community Action Program’s Post

I wonder how many of you reading this can really answer the questions: 'What is Hospice Care?' and 'How do Hospice Isle of Man make the difference to those who need their services?' (And whilst we're on that subject... 'Who can use the services offered by Hospice Isle of Man?') This article is a great intro to the world of hospice care and the struggles faced by Hospice Isle of Man, along with many other charities across the Island, when looking at sustainability for the future. Educating yourself about the positive impact Hospice Isle of Man has on the Island's community (and perhaps challenging some of your initial thoughts!) is so important for your (and your loved one's) future. I can hand on heart say I had only scratched the surface with my understanding of its purpose but feel so much more comfortable should a loved one need their services in the future (and will be well equipped to advise on how to make the most of what is available!). Get yourself a brew and have a read... you've a lot more to gain than lose 💗

Last week, Alton’s New York office took part in our Pledge 1% volunteer day initiative, once again teaming up with West Side Campaign Against Hunger (WSCAH) in Manhattan to help alleviate hunger in the city.    WSCAH’s crucial work ensures all New Yorkers have access with dignity to a choice of healthy food and support services. In support of the organization’s community-focused mission, the Alton team helped prepare 1,490 bags of fresh or shelf-stable food to serve more than 600 families in New York.     Each year Alton supports Pledge 1% https://lnkd.in/eW_ANjH, where we not only donate 1% of our revenue, but also 1% of our time to charitable causes.       Please join us in helping West Side Campaign Against Hunger with its impactful work by donating here: https://lnkd.in/d3eDAKJ   #community #socialresponsibility #corporatecitizenship #givingback #WSCAH #Pledge1%

Nonprofits are the backbone of our communities today. Their impact cannot be overstated, as they contribute to social welfare, economic stability, and the overall quality of life in our communities. Nonprofits provide essential support and services to people who may not qualify for government assistance but still struggle to make ends meet. As community needs grow, nonprofits work tirelessly to recruit volunteers and collect sufficient donations to meet these needs. Our passionate teams continuously adapt, often achieving more with fewer resources. As we navigate the complexities of the modern world, we must recognize and support the invaluable contributions of nonprofit organizations. The continued success of nonprofits is essential for building resilient, compassionate, and thriving communities. The YMCA of the Virginia Peninsulas and all Ys invite you to advocate with us by asking our Members of Congress to support the nonprofit sector by cosponsoring the Charitable Act (S. 566). This bipartisan bill aims to restore and expand the non-itemizer charitable deduction that was in place during the pandemic, incentivizing more Americans to give to charities. Act now and help our community continue to thrive! Visit the YMCA Advocacy Campaign below to contact your local Members of Congress. Together, we can ensure that our nonprofits remain strong, resilient, and ready to serve those who need us most. #ymca #yusa #ymcavp

One of our guiding principles at All Access is: treat charitable organizations as vendors. This can feel cold and calculated, seemingly at odds with the heart we all have for making a difference in the places that need it most. But we want to hold both together: maximize efficiency while retaining relationship. It's deep care AND treating charitable organizations as vendors, so we can foster greater efficiency, transparency, and effectiveness. This approach doesn't mean losing compassion but maximizing the impact of each dollar contributed. It also means far better outcomes for the people we are trying to help. You can read the whole article we recently wrote exploring this very important issue in detail: https://lnkd.in/dQez4Rxq

Statistically 1 in 5 children in these United States experience hunger daily and do not know where their next meal will come from. As we journey toward Fall and the major Holiday Seasons of Thanksgiving and Christmas, we need your help to keep our shelves overflowing with food and our freezers & refrigerators filled month to month. There are families, children, you may never meet hoping that you will assist us in helping them through this coming holiday season. When the Leaders were out and about, the curious crowds gathered and were hungry. The Leaders thought it was a good to just send the crowds away to find food they couldn’t afford. But then wisdom spoke and said …“#YouFeedThem. Support our initiatives, donate today. Consider setting up recurring donations. Will you help?? #GiveHopeAndShareKindness #ReducingNeedsOneHungrySoulAtATime #EconomicInsecurity #FoodInsecurity #HolidayAssistanceNeeded #DonateToday #Donate2024 #HostAFoodDrive #YFTMFPInitiatives #MissionalFoodPantry
