The city just announced our 4th Code Blue. Still we have NO warming centers/tents and hundreds of unhoused friends. Savage Sisters Recovery, Inc is once again operating an emergency warming center. We have ZERO funding for this and it operates on contributions and volunteers. It is absolutely not helping the majority, but it’s the best we can do. We are staying open to offer warmth, safety and food for our friends experiencing homelessness during this time. We have two requests. First, contribute if you can via: savagesisters.org CashApp: $savagesistersrecovery501c3 Venmo: @savagesisters Secondly, please call on our city officials to proactively respond to this situation. We need warming tents, shelter beds & safe havens during code blues to provide safety, warmth and nourishment to our community members. Please share to spread awareness about the lack of response for our most vulnerable populations. Stay safe & stay savage! #harmreductionworks #homelessnessawareness #codeblue #wedorecover #fyp

Over the last 48 hours, we’ve witnessed thousands of people without power, flooded roads, damaged buildings, and a lack of essential resources. In times like these, organizations and local nonprofits must consider how we can effectively show up for our community. -How can we provide resources and support in innovative ways during disasters and unexpected emergencies? -What are some creative ways your organization can engage in community care during these challenging times? Let's talk about it!

Today is National Good Neighbor Day! 🏡 It's a perfect opportunity to extend a helping hand and strengthen our community bonds. Whether it's checking in on a neighbor who might need help, offering assistance with chores, or simply being there to listen, every small act of kindness makes a big difference. Here are some ways to get involved: 1. Notice Changes: Keep an eye out for signs that a neighbor may need help, like uncollected mail or changes in their routine. 2. Offer Practical Help: Assist with tasks like yard work or errands, especially for elderly neighbors or those with mobility issues. 3. Volunteer and Share: Use your skills or time to help local organizations or create supportive networks in your community. Being a #GoodNeighbor means looking out for one another. Let's celebrate today by making our neighborhoods a little brighter and more connected. 📍6333 SW State Rd 200, Ocala, FL 34476 ☎️ (352) 861-2266 #nationalgoodneighborday #statefarm #goodneighbor #ocala #florida #ocalainsurance #youragentscottcameron #scottcameroninsurance

I often write about community 👨👩👧👦 Community is more than people in a geography. It could be those who share common interests, idea, bonds. Community is people. And community is voluntary -- you may fit the criteria... but your participation is optional. The strength of a community can be magnified when stressed. Much like a workout 🏋️♀️stresses the body, but can make one stronger. Recent storms hit the Houston area. After a week, some are still without power. Some have home damage. In Jersey Village -- and I'm sure in other places -- our community got stronger when put to this challenge. Neighbors checked on and helped neighbors. We shared generators. We offered charging stations. Those with power offered our homes & space to friends & fam without. We provided freezer space for those in need. We tried to keep life normal for each other's kids who were out of school for several days. We visited local restaurants who missed a day (and lost perishables) due to power issues. We picked-up yards, helping move downed trees & branches so they could be picked-up. We communicated: face to face, through facebook, and with the local government. We recognized our limitations, but showed appreciation for the level of effort. When at our most helpless -- and when power is out of your control, you ARE helpless -- people became most helpful. That is community. That is community getting stronger.

Lip service is a pervasive problem in our communities. We are all too familiar with empty promises that are not backed up by action. It's high time we pledge to do more than just talk. As one community member said, "They come out here, tell big stories, tell us they will help, and we don't see them again." Let's make sure we are not those people. Let's be the ones who follow through with actions to support our communities. #CommunitySupport #ActionSpeaksLouderThanWords Lip service, or making empty promises without action, undermines community support by fostering distrust and disappointment. It's crucial to follow through with actions to genuinely support communities, rather than just offering words without substance. This approach strengthens community bonds and ensures meaningful support.

Well CBC, guess Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, and the east coast's (except Halifax) whose homeless do not count or maybe <<sarcastic snicker>>, they just don't have any. Hmmm I wonder how much this shindig cost? $1000/head. (guessing pretty low here :P) There's got to be at least 500-100 people in attendance. 1,000x1,000=1,000,000. Geese do you think that money could have been spent a little smarter then on luncheon seminar to discuss what to do? This problem is not new. This problem is not a one off thing. Common 🙄.......................................Wait!!!!!! I know, let's have another consultation. That should help. <<sarcastic snicker>>
