UPDATE #2 (30/07/2024): We want to thank the amazing community for their support, please keep sharing and let's gather all the equipment and items we need to get Closet Share up and running. Closet Share is a community-focused program dedicated to collecting local clothing donations, washing and sorting them into tiers, and cataloging them on an online store for community members to access. We provide affordable clothing solutions through a tiered system, with Tier 1 offering free clothing for low-income families and organizations, and Tier 2 allowing the broader community to purchase items at low costs. Additionally, our Bags of Rags program repurposes unusable textiles to prevent them from ending up in landfills, contributing to environmental sustainability. We are excited to announce that we have recently acquired a warehouse to expand our operations. Unfortunately, we did not receive the government funding we applied for, and the warehouse requires some renovations to get it functioning for our program. We need various supplies, and if you have any items that you would be interested in donating to Closet Share, we would greatly appreciate it. We are also always looking for volunteers to help with the growth and building of Closet Share's warehouse. Your support can make a significant difference in our community!

If you need a reminder, today is not just Taco Tuesday; it is also Giving Tuesday! Giving Tuesday is a generosity movement unleashing power to spark change throughout communities and the world! Last year alone, non-profits raised $3.1 Billion on Giving Tuesday (wow, that is amazing). Your generosity can bring hope to a community and create a place where families and businesses prosper.   LinkedIn, if you feel as futuristic as I do, if you feel the same energy that I do, if you feel the same motivation as I do, then I have a non-profit in mind that encompasses all the great things about Giving Tuesday—Omaha Global Leadership.   Omaha Gobal Leadership, a non-profit organization designed to transform North 24th Street into a "place where strong families live, vibrant businesses thrive, and beautiful neighborhoods grow," has a goal to raise $5000 this Giving Tuesday! Omaha Global Leadership is an organization that I feel very passionate about, not only because of the vision it has to transform the streets that I grew up in but also because I know the results of a cleaner, safer, and more beautiful environment, and with your generosity this Giving Tuesday, Omaha N. 24th Street will be a place of hope! Be part of the hope by donating and learning more about what we do here. https://lnkd.in/gxnDtnui #givingtuesday #hope #community

“Why can’t Tun Tavern once again stand in Philadelphia?”  I wanted to provide everyone an update on the status of the rebuilding of The Tun. TODAY, the idea of rebuilding The Tun originated in 2015. While there had been earlier attempts to rebuild the tavern, none were like this. Past attempts did not include the other organizations that can trace their origins to The Tun. Once the decision was made to “rebuild”, the other organizations were contacted, & a “coalition” was formed with all 6 organizations with a heritage at Tun Tavern: Pennsylvania Freemasons, Society of Saint George, Saint Andrews Society, Sons of Saint Patrick, USMC & USN. In 2021, the search for a location commenced, to give The Tun’s eventual patrons the experience of colonial Philadelphia. The land chosen is currently a parking lot, about 250 yards from the original location.  From the start organizers insisted that the re-established Tun should be a functioning tavern, but operate as a non-profit with all operating profits donated to veteran charities, masonic charities, & scholarships.  “Tun Tavern Legacy Foundation”,  was formally created in February 2021, & registered as a 501(c)(3) non-profit corporation with the stated mission “To rebuild & re-establish The Tun™ as it was, a functioning mariner’s tavern reminiscent of colonial Philadelphia, serving period-influenced refreshments, food, entertainment & offering an educational experience through exhibits, historical documents, & special events.”  The Foundation, headquartered in Philadelphia, with representation on its Board of Directors from each of the six “coalition” organizations, is tasked with the rebuilding of The Tun, oversee its management, & the eventual distribution of profits to veteran, masonic, and educational charities. Since the creation of the Foundation, progress has been considerable. In October 2023, an Agreement of Sale was signed to purchase the required land. In November 2023, an architect, engineer, and construction manager were formally under contract. In December of 2023 the Board of Directors were ratified and adopted the Foundation’s formal bylaws.  While the bulk of the historical research has been accomplished, ongoing research continues for clarification purposes. Initial environmental testing has also been completed & a zoning application is currently being readied for submission.  While much has been accomplished to ensure the completion of this goal, there is much remaining. In February 2024, we are set to close the land deal; June 2024 the design, zoning and permitting is on schedule to be completed. The goal is to have the groundbreaking and construction begin in November 2024 with the grand opening, 10 November 2025. We are now in full fund-raising mode. There are multiple ways you can help see this dream become reality. Begin by visiting the website www.TheTun.org; you can help spread the word on this effort; & you can follow us on social media to be kept updated on the dream.

🌳 Green spaces matter. 🌳   We’ve been working with Windlesham Field of Remembrance to keep the field well-funded. Creating a distinctive visual theme to help visitors appreciate the running costs and encourage donations to the Friend of the Field scheme. With a graphic mark to emphasise the multi-functional uses of the field for both recreation and respite, a considered colour palette to compliment the surroundings and location specific messaging to draw attention. A donation is now just a click away while enjoying the field. We’ve loved working on this project. Let us know what you think with a reaction. 🙏 Thank you to Sophie Holt, for her kind words: "Liven Creative has re-energised the Friend of the Field scheme. We're already starting to see the benefit of their clarity and skill to bring our fundraising initiative to life. We appreciate their support and contribution to keeping our fields available for future generations." If you’re looking to make an impact, a fresh look design could be the answer. Get in touch for a no-obligation chat about the challenge you’re facing and we’ll help you solve it. #design #messaging #impact #branddesign #fundraising
