🌟 Giving Tuesday is over, but the spirit of giving should never end. 🌟 Our communities thrive because of organizations that dedicate themselves to supporting those in need—whether it’s helping older adults maintain their independence or guiding children and teens through unimaginable grief. Why continue giving? Organizations like WellWise Services Area Agency on Aging, Tri-County Office on Aging (TCOA), and the Area Agency on Aging of Western Michigan ensure that older generations can stay in their homes, enhancing mobility and independence. These programs don’t just provide services—they give dignity and peace of mind to aging adults and their caregivers. Similarly, ❤️ Ele's Place West Michigan is a lifeline for children and teens processing grief. Their services, provided entirely free to families, create a safe space for young hearts to heal during incredibly challenging times. These programs depend on the generosity of the community. Every dollar contributed helps someone regain stability, independence, or hope. As we move forward from Giving Tuesday, let’s keep the momentum going. Consider making a donation or spreading the word about these amazing organizations. Together, we can create stronger, more compassionate communities. #GivingBack #CommunityImpact #SupportLocal #AgingAdults #YouthSupport #NonprofitsMatter

Let’s Make This Thanksgiving a Time of Hope. At McKinley, the holiday season is a reminder of how much we can achieve together. Every day, we see families navigating unimaginable challenges, and the holidays often bring added burdens. But with your help, we can turn those struggles into moments of joy and connection. Our Harvest of Hope campaign goes beyond providing meals. It’s about creating warmth, dignity, and hope for families who need it most. A simple meal can become a powerful message: you’re not alone, and your community cares. Please watch this video to learn more about how you can make a positive impact on the lives of families in need. For those who can help, your donation gift will go a long way: $60 provides a Thanksgiving meal for a family of four. $120 supports two families in celebrating the holiday. $250 spreads hope to multiple families in need. This isn’t just about food, it’s about restoring a sense of belonging and giving families a moment to pause and cherish the holiday spirit. Let’s make this Thanksgiving brighter for those who need it most. Together, we can deliver more than meals; we can deliver hope.

🎄✨ As holiday decorations start to appear, it’s the perfect time to talk with kids about the true spirit of the season—giving. At growing gift, we believe the holidays are a wonderful opportunity to teach children about sharing what they have—whether it’s money, time, or kindness. 💖 Here’s some simple ways to inspire giving: Family Conversation:  Talk about the many ways to give back. Whether it’s donating to a favorite charity, volunteering as a family, or helping a neighbor, highlight that giving isn’t just about money—it’s also about sharing your time, talents, and kindness with others. Family Activity:  Encourage your kids to pick their favorite way to give. They could donate part of their allowance, create cards for nursing home residents, or even spend time helping a friend or sibling. When kids experience the joy of giving, they learn valuable lessons about empathy, responsibility, and gratitude—values that grow with them for a lifetime. How does your family give back during the holidays? Share your ideas below! ✨ Follow us to learn how more about how growing gift can help you empower your child with the tools for financial growth and generosity year round! #HolidayGiving #GrowingGift #RaisingGenerousKids #FamilyActivities

Today, let's think of ripple effect Let's think of how one small act of kindness creates waves far beyond what we can see. A single donation doesn’t just fill a pantry; it eases the worry of the troubled hearts. It doesn’t just pay school fees; it writes the first chapter of a child’s success story. It doesn’t just provide shelter; it whispers to a survivor of domestic violence, “You are safe now.” At The Shola Adefolalu Gaska Foundation, we’ve seen this ripple effect firsthand. One act of generosity has led to women rebuilding their lives, children daring to dream, and entire families finding their footing again. Be the first drop. Let your kindness spread like waves, let it create hope where despair was once a resident. This #GivingTuesday, your ripple can start a revolution of hope.

Compassion and the Spirit of Giving As the season of giving surrounds us, it’s a great time to reflect on the power of compassion. Sometimes, it’s the small gestures that make the biggest difference in someone’s life. Whether it’s offering a kind word, donating to a local shelter, or volunteering time to help a neighbor, we all have the ability to brighten someone’s day. Here are a few simple ways to make a difference: • Organize a donation drive: Collect coats, blankets, or non-perishable food for those in need. • Support local families: Drop off groceries or gift cards anonymously to help make their holidays a little easier. • Volunteer your time: Help at a soup kitchen, mentor someone, or spend time with residents at a veterans’ home or senior care facility. • Pay it forward: Cover someone’s coffee, groceries, or gas as a random act of kindness. It’s not about how much we give, but the intention behind it. Compassion is contagious, and when we come together to help one another, we build stronger communities. Let’s all find a way to give back this season—it could be the start of something bigger than we imagine. How are you giving back this year? Share your thoughts or ideas in the comments—I’d love to hear them! #Compassion #SeasonOfGiving #KindnessMatters

Spreading Kindness This Holiday Season 🎁💖 The holidays are a perfect time to teach kids how small acts of kindness can make a big difference. At growing gift, we believe that giving isn’t just about money—it’s about showing care and thoughtfulness for others. 🗣️ Conversation Starter: Ask your kids, “How can we spread joy to others this season?” Discuss ways to show kindness, like writing a thank-you note, helping a neighbor, or donating toys or clothes. 🎨 Family Activity: Create a "Kindness Calendar" for December. Each day, do one small act of kindness together as a family, such as baking cookies for a neighbor, sending cards to loved ones, or donating gently used items to charity. 🌟 These simple acts show kids the value of empathy and generosity while creating warm holiday memories. 💌 Follow growing gift or visit our website for more ideas on raising kids with strong values and financial wisdom this season! #KindnessCounts #GrowingGift #FamilyValues #FamilyLegacy

We can be more than we are! I posted a comment for Beyond Your Doors, encouraging people to break a habit and give back. When we try something new, we grow and, hopefully, succeed. I thought this would be a great reminder in our professional world. How often do we continue to do the same thing again-and-again and feel lost at work? Sometimes, a minor change to a habit or routine will lead to growth in another area. In our professional world, we can do more. We need to keep challenging ourselves and never settle. Let us learn, grow, and share. https://lnkd.in/ekXnNivU If you are interested in supporting Beyond Your Doors, we are a 501c3 nonprofit that simplifies community engagement by making it easy for people to receive support and give back. We create accessible opportunities for donating, volunteering, and helping those in need within the local community.
