This kind of circularity should be obvious.

📚🚸 School is Back - Slow Down in School Zones! 🚸📚 As our children head back to school, it's crucial to remember the importance of road safety, especially in school zones. At Cornerstone Funerals, we care deeply about our community and the well-being of its members. Please remember: Slow down: Adhere to the reduced speed limits in school zones. Stay alert: Watch for children crossing the road, especially during peak hours. Be patient: Kids might be excited and not always aware of their surroundings. Let's work together to ensure a safe return to school for all our children. One step wrong could lead to a tragedy. Eyes wide open, check your speed, and drive with care. #SchoolSafety #SlowDown #CommunityFirst #CornerstoneFunerals #RoadSafety #YODO

🌞🚚 Sunday Vinnies Soup Van Run Update 🚚🌞 Braving Melbourne's scorching summer heat, our Inner City Vinnies Soup Van team embarked on the usual Sunday run yesterday. It was a tough one, I'd have to say. The demand for food hampers was exceptionally high, leaving us without supply for our last two stops – a stark reminder of the pressing need in our community. I had never seen that before. Have you thought about it? For many of us, summer and the heat bring unique challenges and some additional ones for people experiencing homelessness: How do you store your medication in extreme heat? I was reminded of that when seeing someone with prescribed medications next to them yesterday.☀ Where do you seek refuge when temperatures soar above 35 degrees and it’s hot even in the shade? Our dedicated volunteers hit the streets daily, seeing the challenges and providing crucial support as best as possible, because, well, homelessness doesn't take a heat break. To combat heat and dehydration, we distributed special summer hampers with essentials like sunscreen, deodorant, insect repellent, caps, and extra water bottles. Socks, a year-round necessity, were also in high demand. We never seem to have enough, regardless of the seasons. I am truly privileged and humbled to be part of this impactful movement - to work with Vinnies Vic, as St Vincent de Paul Society Victoria is lovingly called, but also to be a volunteer, and I really admire those who have been so much longer than myself: During the day or the week, they juggle roles as civil engineers, school principals, electricians, carpenters. They work on international ad campaigns; they are students, mums, dads, sons, and daughters, all trying to make someone else's life who needs support just that little bit better. If you feel inspired to contribute, here's a link https://lnkd.in/gfghfdiv. It's worth it. 🤝❤️ #Volunteering #socialimpact #givingback #homelessness #donateforchange #changemakers

September 8th 2024 To the editor: North Toledo residents fight blight again. This year residents in North Toledo came together to combat blight and had another successful year. We call ourselves the North Toledo Coalition, neighbors coming together for neighborhood issues. We are advocates for our neighborhood who strive for better days. This year we organized three cleanup events, our first one was covered by The Blade (“Crew collects mess to clean up N. Toledo,” March 24). We measure our success by a few simple metrics, how long it takes to fill up the truck, how many abandoned tires are collected, and how many volunteers help. In previous cleanup events it would take us less than an hour to fill a truck up; we would collect over 50 tires easily at each event. This year’s three cleanups netted about 40 abandoned tires. We had several volunteers from different backgrounds participate. The goal of our events is to reduce blight; in turn that reduces crime, adds to neighborhood engagement, and offers hope to those residents that feel the neighborhood has been forgotten. Our efforts would not be possible without our partnerships. The city of Toledo has been so supportive with our projects, our volunteers consisted of church members from Salem Lutheran, a few Lowe’s employees and most importantly members of the community. We will continue our initiative into 2025 because it is successful. ALFONSO R. NARVAEZ North Toledo #CommunityService #Toledo
