I LOVE food rescue. To me it's a perfect business solution to 3 problems. 😠 Hunger. I hate being hungry. No one should be hungry. 🗑 Waste. Throwing useful stuff away infuriates me (especially with food, which takes a ton of effort to produce in the first place!). ⛽ Energy. Food is fuel. If the whole community is fueled with the right kind of energy...imagine how much better off we all would be. That's why I love it when teams like The Open Door and Second Harvest Heartland connect food to families. What's one of your favorite business solutions that solves multiple problems at once?

Turning T-Shirts into $75,000 for Wildfire Relief A few months ago, we decided to do something that would make a real impact during one of the toughest times. Through our t-shirt campaign, we raised $75,000 for the Canadian Red Cross to support wildfire relief efforts. It wasn’t just about the shirts. It was about how we structured it—leveraging a unique pre-order strategy that turned community support into a real force for good. Now, with the holidays around the corner, we’re ramping up again with our giving garments campaign. Same approach: buy something, make a difference. This season, every purchase goes beyond just the product. https://lnkd.in/gvheSXVa #FundraisingSuccess #WildfireRelief #CanadianRedCross #CommunitySupport #TshirtCampaign #PreOrderStrategy #GivingGarments #shorts
