This post highlights the upcoming All-Star Giveback event at Eastern Market Shed 5 on November 26. Now in its 27th year, this event serves as a symbol of unity in addressing food insecurity, especially crucial during the Thanksgiving season. It emphasizes the importance of coming together to support vulnerable communities, showcasing the impact of solidarity in fighting hunger. In a world where disparities exist, where abundance and scarcity coexist, collaborative efforts like the All-Star Giveback can bring about significant change. By joining forces with this initiative, we not only acknowledge food insecurity but actively work towards solutions, ensuring crucial assistance reaches those in need, particularly during critical times like the holidays. Let's unite and create a positive impact by supporting initiatives like the All-Star Giveback, fostering a society built on justice and compassion for all.

I did a thing today. An impactful thing. I served as a volunteer table host at a community listening event. There was no agenda other than simply listening. Anyone could come and join a topic table and speak to their lived experience. In a safe space. Created with intention. It’s hard to listen without agenda. It’s an intentional act. It was humbling. And amazing. About 20 tables talked about everything from homelessness to philanthropy to mental health to diversity. But here’s what struck me: If we could engage the entire community in conversation and ask them to define our values as a community….we would find that we all share the same values. We all want good schools, opportunity, safe communities, housing, healthcare, excellent public services. Once you know this…that we ALL want the same things…how do you ignore inequality…homelessness…food deserts…joblessness…poor educational options? You can’t. Because we ALL want the same things. We want to thrive and grow in our communities. We want to be heard. We want to matter. Find a way to help your community be better, do better. Don’t stand idly by and say gosh, what a shame. Be the change. Work for the greater good. Help the rising tide raise all boats. As it should.

Community engagement is more than just sponsoring events—it's about genuinely showing up and supporting the people around you. When your business is actively involved, it builds trust and strengthens ties with your clients. The more you invest in your community, the more your community invests in you. Authenticity and transparency go a long way in a world where it's often hard to find. Independent practices have a unique opportunity to connect on a personal level, and that connection is what keeps clients coming back, even when things aren't perfect. #CommunityEngagement #ClientTrust #AuthenticConnections #VeterinaryPractice #LocalBusiness #TransparencyMatters #BuildingRelationships #SmallBusinessSuccess

“Don’t worry, Mom, it’s just the teacher pretending to be the bad guy—it isn’t real.” Until it is. This was a conversation I had not even a month ago with my 7 year old following an intruder drill. Do you know how many times this conversation has replayed in my head, PRAYING it never becomes a reality? Yesterday a school shooting took place far too close to home—22 minutes away, to be exact—at another local Christian school. I have shared many stories about my daughter’s private Christian school here on LinkedIn, and while her school wasn’t directly affected, this tragedy feels deeply personal. My heart aches for the children, families, and educators impacted by this unimaginable event. As a parent, I am navigating a flood of emotions: grief, fear, and a desperate desire to do something. These events remind us that the safety of our children, in every sense of the word, is one of the most fundamental needs—and yet, as a society, we often find ourselves asking: How can we do better? 1. Support educators. Reach out to the teachers and staff in your schools. They carry a tremendous emotional burden, and a simple check-in can make a difference. 2. Connect with your children. Love them, listen to them, and reassure them in these uncertain times. 3. Engage with your school leadership. Learn what safety measures are in place and ask how you can help. Volunteer your time, talents, or resources to be part of the solution. 4. Foster emotional intelligence. Teach children (and ourselves) that it’s okay to feel big emotions—and equip them with tools to process and act on those feelings in healthy ways. We each have a role to play, no matter how small it feels. While I don’t have all the answers, I believe we can all be part of building stronger, safer communities by showing up for one another and refusing to let these tragedies become the norm. To my professional network: How do you navigate fear and uncertainty as a parent, leader, or community member? What steps can we take together to create safer spaces for our children? The world is a scary place. Don’t navigate the “scary” alone.

Community Servings is pleased to be a partner in #MakeHungerHistory, an ambitious statewide initiative to end hunger in Massachusetts led by a coalition of advocates, policymakers, businesses, service providers, and individuals with lived experiences of hunger. Together, we aim to inform policy, challenge stigmas, and build a grassroots movement to change a system that leaves too many neighbors without the resources they need to access healthy, nutritious foods for themselves and their families. With 1 in 3 Massachusetts’ residents facing hunger, the time to act is now. For more about Make Hunger History or to pledge your support, visit makehungerhistoryma.org. “At Community Servings, we witness every day how access to nutritious meals can transform lives, particularly for those managing complex health conditions. Our investment in this coalition is about recognizing the vital intersection of food and health. As a leader in this space, Massachusetts is poised to set a national example. Together, we’re not just ending hunger; we’re healing communities and building a healthier future for all.” CEO David B. Waters
