Nonprofit organizations like ServeHAITI are not driven by generating profit, but we still need to bring in enough income to pursue our social goals. Nonprofits are able to raise money in different ways from donations, individual donors or foundations, sponsorship from corporations, government funding, programs, services or merchandise sales. So, how do we work together? ServeHAITI's Staff, Volunteers and Board Members meet regularly to discuss our programs, challenges, projects and oftentimes to also share travelling memories or success stories from Haiti. Typically we use Zoom video calls, since we are spread out in Georgia, Kansas, Florida, Iowa, New York and Grand-Bois, Haiti. We are always working hard toward our shared dream - to heal and empower the community of Grand-Bois, Haiti! Our Organizational Director, Ron Apollon, leads a monthly "Konbit (Working Together) Call" with ServeHAITI's staff in Grand-Bois and supervises multiple projects and programs. Luanne Smith, our Interim Chairperson, organizes the Board Members committees and meetings. Greg Amoroso, our treasurer, manages our finances. Matt Downen, our medical director, collaborates with our Haitian medical team and keeps us abreast of needs, outbreaks and issues affecting the area. We also have very active Marketing, Education, Fundraising and Economic Development committees too. Please feel free to inquire! At our most recent monthly Zoom Board Meeting, we were happy to announce two new amazing members joining our Board of Directors and will be sharing more about them soon!

In the UK, over 50% of consumers don't understand what it means when a business is a co-operative or a mutual, and two-fifths (42%) admit they don't know how being part of one could benefit them and their communities. Co-op's new brand platform, "Owned by You, Right by You," aims to change that. At Rullion, we're excited to support this bold new initiative. By encouraging our staff to become Co-op members, we're not just promoting a fantastic business; we're fostering a sense of ownership and community spirit. For every staff member who joins, we will donate £1 to Altrincham FC Community Sports Ltd, reinforcing our commitment to local community support. Why are we doing this? Embracing Co-op's Vision: Supporting the new brand platform that emphasizes member ownership and community involvement. Building Community Spirit: Helping Co-op bring people together to create a stronger, more connected community. Enhancing Local Impact: Through our donations, we support Altrincham FC Community Sports Ltd, which aids people of all ages with programs addressing dementia, isolation, and physical activity. Together, let's support Co-op's vision and make a positive impact in our community.
