Celebrating the strength and love of motherhood together – Join the Cause! Moms are the backbone of our families and communities, but many face challenges that make it hard to provide for their children or themselves. This is why I’m organizing a donation drive to support moms in need. We often talk about leadership, resilience, and community in our professional lives. What better way to embody those values than by coming together to uplift those who need a helping hand? Here’s how you can help: 1. Donate – Every little bit makes a difference. Send us a DM on Instagram to : https://lnkd.in/e8yMicW9 2. Spread the Word – Share this post with your network to amplify the impact. 3. Let me know if you’d like to volunteer or partner with this initiative. Together, we can make a difference in the lives of moms and their families. Thank you for your support! #CommunitySupport #MomsInNeed #SocialImpact #GivingBack

Giving is living. Let today be a reminder to do something for someone else. Not only will it fill their cup, but yours as well.

You can contribute your desserts to a bake sale (making my PTO contributions this week for our sons school) Support small businesses: Use Giving Tuesday to support local businesses in your community Perform random acts of kindness: Brighten someone’s day with random acts of kindness—pay for a stranger’s coffee, leave positive sticky notes around town Donate goods and supplies: Perfect time to clear out your pantry and your kids room to make room for the new - Check with local shelters, food banks, or community centers to see what items they need, such as food, clothing, toys, or other supplies Most importantly, give the gift of time: Offer experiences or activities to your loved ones instead of material gifts—spend quality time together, create memories and please share your favorite activity gift you're giving this year #givingtuesday #spreadlove #change #kindess #holidaycheer

As we approach the holiday season, the growing trend of the "Reverse Advent Calendar" is offering a refreshing way to embrace the spirit of giving. 🤲 Instead of receiving something each day, families and children are encouraged to donate an item they no longer use—whether it’s toys, clothes, or food—building a collection of gifts for a special cause. This practice is not just about decluttering before the Christmas rush, it’s an opportunity to teach children the importance of generosity. By donating things they’ve outgrown or no longer need, kids learn the value of giving a new life to what they don't use anymore and can make others happy. ♻️ For parents, it’s a chance to clear out the clutter before new gifts arrive, making space for what truly matters. In our opinion, the Reverse Advent Calendar is a meaningful tradition that can make this holiday season about more than just receiving, but also about giving and making a difference for others and for the planet. 🌎🌟 #CircleToys #PlayItAgain #climatechange #circulareconomy #SustainablePlay #CircularSwitzerland #circulartoys #sustainablechristmas #prelovedtoys

✨ National Get Organized Month - Day 2 ✨ Decluttering doesn't have to feel overwhelming. Here's a simple and effective tip to make the process seamless: The Donation Box. 🏠 Place a box by your main exits—think the garage or front door—and fill it with items to donate as you clean and organize. Once it’s full, pop it in your car for a quick donation drop-off. Then, bring it back home and start again! Not only will this keep your home tidy, but it’s also a wonderful way to give back to your community. 💕 Getting organized is all about building small, manageable habits. What’s one thing you’ve donated recently? Let’s inspire each other—share in the comments! #GetOrganizedMonth #DeclutterAndDonate #OrganizedLiving #ManzanitaFineRealEstate #RealEstateTips #CommunityGiving

Have a giving hand, so that we can be there, when it matters the most.
