Fruit of the Loom, Inc.’s Post

As we close out National Volunteer Week, we are thanking all our volunteers for the generous support they give in time and talent. This work is ongoing, and that’s OK, but the work is made lighter by the many hands that contribute to building strong, respectful, and accepting communities. Take Jarred for example. After the volunteer program relaunch in 2022, Jarred was one of Boyle Street's first volunteers. He was integral in helping us roll out a new volunteer program that was sustainable and effective for our Community Members. Because of his commitment to our community, our folks really trust him and see him as an ally. He has put in the work and the time to understand and engage with vulnerable and marginalized folks to further combat the stigma that our community faces. As Jarred said: “Being a part of the Boyle Street community has given me many beautiful memories and relationships. In volunteering, staff and community members welcome you into their lives and empower you to make the world a more understanding, connected, and dignifying place -- they help you be the change you want to see.” If you’re looking to volunteer for a special occasion or on a regular basis, consider applying for a volunteer position – applications are already open: https://lnkd.in/gytHMNS3 #NationalVolunteerWeek #NVW2024 #EveryMomentMatters #BoyleStreetCommunity #YEGCommunity #YEGPhilanthropy #EndHomelessness #Volunteer #Volunteerism #VolunteeringMatters #CommunityService #VolunteerCanada #VolunteerOpportunity #CommunitySupport #MakeADifference #SupportLocal #VolunteerAppreciation #YEGCharity #YEGNonprofit

Kindness isn't rare; it's just often overlooked. I believe in showing kindness in the little ways I can. It doesn't always have to involve money. I make it a point to show up when people need support. Small acts can create massive change. As a #SocialAdvocate, I have realized that kindness is essential. It is not just about sympathy, it is about humanity. One kind gesture today could change someone’s tomorrow. Imagine a world where more of us understand that helping others isn't just about giving only money ,it is about showing up, listening, and offering whatever we can. Kindness is what holds communities together, and it starts with you and me. Let’s create that world, one act of kindness at a time. My name is Aanuoluwaposimi Mary Ajayi, a passionate advocate for community engagement and volunteering. Need a dedicated professional to drive impactful initiatives and inspire action?

As professionals, we’ve all had to struggle with the occasional feeling like we are running on empty, strained, and overwhelmed, but one major key to breaking free from this cycle lies in serving others. My journey with volunteering began in medical school, where I participated in numerous community outreach programs, these experiences not only helped sharpen my skills but also ignited a sense of purpose within me. I’ve learned that serving others shifts our focus from scarcity to abundance, as collective efforts can drive meaningful change, as well as the ripple effects of kindness and compassion. If you’re feeling drained or uncertain, I encourage you to explore opportunities to serve, whether through volunteering, mentoring, or simply lending a helping hand. #Volunteering #CommunityService #PersonalGrowth #Purpose #Fulfillment #SocialImpact #ProfessionalDevelopment
