Let me introduce myself. I'm Dave. I love wine 🍷. I love food 😋 I have two businesses that donate back to nonprofits. 1) One Hope Wine: I co-host wine fundraisers. You gather your friends and get pairings to share. We take a trip to Napa Valley with a selection of 6 wines. I guide you thru thru the wines and people choose their favorites and place an order to be delivered to their home. 10% of each purchase is given to a nonprofit you choose. 2) Pampered Chef: I co-host a fundraiser either online or in-person. Invite your friends to am online event about 4 days long and there are games, recipes, and cooking suggestions. People place orders for household and cooking items. 10%-15% will be donated to a nonprofit you choose. I love my businesses and helping you raise money for Causes You Believe In!! Let me know if either or both these fundraisers sound fun!! I Put the FUN in FUNdraising!! CHEERS 🥂

Alex C and I come from similar worlds apart—the post-Soviet terrains of Russia and the now war-torn Donetsk region of Ukraine. Our childhoods were overshadowed by the pangs of food scarcity, a memory that now fuels our purpose at Zina's. I remember the lengths to which my parents went to provide for me amid widespread need. Their resilience inspired my vow when I joined Zina's over ten years ago, and ever since, we have chosen to annually contribute to the cause of helping end food insecurity. We have kept that promise, contributing annually. Now, as 2024 approaches, we're ready to broaden our impact and invite organizations aligned with our vision to join us. Our past is not just a story; it's our call to action. If your mission resonates with ours, or if you know a group that shares our passion for change, let's connect. Together, let's ensure our next steps leave a lasting footprint in the fight against hunger. #EndHungerNow #TogetherAgainstHunger

Dressed or not? That is the question… A po’boy can be plain - just French bread and your choice of protein. OR You can get it “dressed” with lettuce, mayo, tomato, and pickle. Same goes with life. We all co-exist. But when we share our collective experiences and make fulfilling personal connections, that’s when the best stuff happens. How have you “dressed” up your life this week?

Rising food costs have made it challenging for people to feed themselves and as a result has stretched many charitable food organizations thin. Our goal with our newly named Food Security Campaign is to help these organizations nourish communities in need.

We made the Charity shortlist for the Performance Marketing World awards 🎉 We worked with Woodgreen Pets Charity on their 'Be a miracle maker' Christmas giving campaign. Through a combination of creative strategy, innovative AI tools and first party data, we were able to surpass both revenue and ROI targets, more than doubling year on year revenue for the same media spend. We're looking forward to hearing the results in November. Fingers crossed for our team and brilliant client partners. https://lnkd.in/esVgQXzS #CharityDigital #Fundraising #ChristmasGiving #CreativeStrategy #DigitalMarketing [Image description: In a blob is an adorable one-eyed tan coloured dog.

Urgent: Unfair Treatment at International Expo Seafood 2024 Dear Sir/Madam, I hope this email finds you well. I am writing to express my deep concern and disappointment regarding the unfair treatment experienced by Wrigcoll Enterprise Inc. at the International Expo Seafood 2024 event. As an organization dedicated to serving our community through charitable initiatives, it was disheartening to witness the disregard shown towards us, particularly in contrast to the preferential treatment given to larger entities such as the Greater Boston Food Bank (GBFB). Despite our longstanding commitment to philanthropy, highlighted by our recognition as an Amazon Charity Spotlight recipient since 2019, we were marginalized and overlooked at the event. It is especially troubling considering that we provided support in 2023.The absence of the GBFB, coupled with Diversified Communications' apparent bias against international seafood in favor of other exhibitors, further exacerbated our sense of exclusion.What adds insult to injury is the fact that I have personal connections with the staff at GBFB, including Brian and Food For Free over 5 years, whom I have assisted during my time at FOOD FOR FREE.As an Afro-American individual leading a team of urban neighbors in Boston, many of whom fall outside the GBFB's umbrella, I am acutely aware of the challenges faced by marginalized communities in accessing essential resources. At Wrigcoll Enterprise Inc., we operate on a modest budget, striving to make a meaningful difference in the lives of those in need. However, our efforts were unfairly overshadowed by larger organizations with significantly greater financial resources. This disparity not only undermines our mission but also perpetuates systemic inequalities within our community. Furthermore, it is important to note that participating in events such as the International Expo Seafood 2024 entails significant financial investments on our part. The resources expended to prepare for this annual event represent a substantial portion of our operating budget, making the unfair treatment we received all the more detrimental to our organization's sustainability. It is particularly distressing to learn that potential donors who approached us with offers of support were redirected or discouraged from contributing to our cause by individuals like Brian and Sara. This unjust interference not only deprives us of much-needed resources but also undermines the trust and goodwill we have diligently cultivated over the years.In light of these troubling developments, I urge you to address these issues promptly and transparently. It is imperative that all participants in charitable endeavors are afforded equal opportunities to make a positive impact, regardless of their size or financial standing.I appreciate your attention to this matter and look forward to a constructive resolution that upholds the principles of fairness and inclusivity. Sincerely, https://lnkd.in/ewnzwkkV
