Excited to share a brand-new video from our recent event at the Long Island Coalition for the Homeless Community Garden with Jovia Financial Credit Union members volunteering. It was an event full of laughter, hard work, and heartwarming moments. Shoutout to our award-winning junior community volunteers who took part with Deborah Mazza and Christine Bentley, Bailey Riekkinen, Simone Williams for taking the time to be interviewed. 🔹 Our team dove into action—rolling up sleeves, tackling weeds, and turning weeding into quite the workout! 🔹 Engaging with community members, genuine smiles, and stories that remind us why we do what we do—it's all about human connections. 🔹 Midway through, vibrant activities shined, with lots of weeding and even more laughter. 🔹 Behind-the-scenes footage showcased teamwork in action, like a reality show with more soil and fewer drama queens. 🔹 Wrapping up with unforgettable moments leaving everyone grinning from ear to ear. This video reflects our hard work and passion for community outreach. Proud to be part of a team making a real difference, one weed at a time! Watch the full video and share your thoughts. What's your favorite part, and how can we enhance our community outreach? Your feedback matters! Let's keep those green thumbs moving and brains thinking! 💡 #CommunityEngagement #TeamWork #JoviaFinancialCreditUnion #CommunityRelations #Marketing #LICHCommunityGarden #GardenAdventures

Are you a volunteer? If so, what do you get from it? Why do you do it? It's Volunteers' Week, a time to celebrate and thank those who give their time and talents to help others. And a good time to consider whether there's more that you can do. You'll be improving your own wellbeing, as well as helping others. If you're an employer, do you offer support to your staff who volunteer? Or perhaps you already have a corporate volunteering scheme that you can promote this week. Encourage teamwork, increase morale, and raise your community profile. Search "volunteers week 2024" for more information. #volunteersweek

National Volunteer Month: Give Back and Make a Difference! Held in April every year, National Volunteer Month is a time to celebrate and recognize the contributions of volunteers. It’s an opportunity to join the impact of volunteerism and encourage more people to get involved in their communities. Why Volunteer? Tangible Impact: From restoring wildlife habitat and building trails to preserving historical monuments and educating visitors about diverse cultures, witness firsthand the positive impacts of your efforts. Connect with Nature and History: Immerse yourself in stunning landscapes, learn about diverse ecosystems, and contribute to conservation while unearthing stories from the past. Develop Valuable Skills: Gain practical experience in areas like resource management, education, visitor services, trail maintenance, or historical interpretation. The opportunities for growth and connection are endless! Meet Passionate People: Build camaraderie with fellow volunteers and co-workers who share your passions. Boost Your Well-Being: Volunteering has been shown to reduce stress, increase happiness, and improve mental and physical health. National Volunteer Month is a wonderful reminder that even small acts of kindness can have a profound impact. So, grab a co-worker, friend, or family member and spend some time volunteering. And while you’re at it, keep an eye out for the Consumers Energy volunteers proudly sporting their blue t-shirts. #CEVolunteers #NationalVolunteerMonth #VolunteersMakeADifference #GiveBack

As we wrap up another week and head into the weekend, let’s take a moment to reflect on the power of community and social discipline. It’s easy to think that individual actions don’t have a significant impact, but collective, disciplined efforts within a community can truly transform society. When we actively engage in our communities—whether through volunteering, supporting local businesses, or simply being mindful of the needs around us—we contribute to positive, lasting change. Social responsibility isn’t just about grand gestures. It’s about consistency, showing up, and being accountable for the role we play in the lives of others. Imagine if we all committed to one act of community engagement this weekend. Small, disciplined actions, when done consistently, lead to bigger, more impactful outcomes. The weekend is the perfect time to reflect on how we can engage more meaningfully with those around us. Take a moment to think about the community you're part of. How can you contribute in a way that supports the collective good? This weekend, challenge yourself to take one small step towards community engagement—whether it’s lending a helping hand, participating in a local event, or simply checking in on a neighbor. Every act counts. Let’s build better communities together! Enjoy your weekend! #CNJAssociates #CommunityMatters #SocialResponsibility #CollectiveAction #PositiveChange #WeekendReflection #DisciplineLeadsToSuccess #EmpowerThroughAction
