WHEN YOU SUPPORT MILFORD UNITED WAY, YOU SUPPORT YOUR NEIGHBORS The next time you are out and about in Milford at a place where there are lots of people — the grocery store, a school play, your place of worship — take a moment to look around you. These are your neighbors. You may know some of them by name. You may recognize some others. But what you may not see is that NEARLY ONE IN THREE is struggling to make ends meet amid the climbing costs of basic needs like housing, food and healthcare. Who are these struggling neighbors? She's the creative kindergarten teacher your teenager still talks about. He's the guy who plows your driveway before you leave for work, without fail. She's your favorite waitress, the one who knows your "usual" by heart. He's the nurse who usually draws your blood at the clinic — you never feel so much as a pinch, and you always leave with a funny story about his kids. It's the elderly couple next door who waters your plants when you're on vacation. You depend on your neighbors for support in so many ways, whether you realize it or not. And Milford United Way is the only local charitable organization that allows you to support your neighbors, in as many ways, in return. WHAT DO WE DO? Through our work with nearly two dozen partner agencies, your donation helps them all. Milford United Way connects Milford residents with resources, whatever their needs — fuel, food, housing, childcare, clothing, furniture, healthcare access. We fund a myriad of services to guarantee their availability to Milford residents. But that's only the beginning of the story. Milford United Way is building programs to address unmet needs and fill the gaps. We ask big questions about why things are the way they are, and how we can remove barriers and increase access for all. And we participate in these conversations wherever they occur — often, we lead them. But most of all, we listen. We listen to what our neighbors tell us they need. And we partner with them to find better solutions. WHAT CAN YOU DO? This year on Giving Tuesday, why not give back to your neighbors? It's easy. Just click the link to donate on our secure online portal: https://lnkd.in/gaAxXPvQ Thank you for your consideration. #givingtuesday2023 #liveunited #milfordct

Giving back to the community can be a fulfilling experience, especially when it's done through team building. That's why Charitable Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) programs are becoming increasingly popular. These programs not only help boost team spirit and unity but also offer a chance to make a difference in the lives of less fortunate members of our community. TeamBonding has been delivering CSR programs since 2000, providing group bonding activities, games, and challenges that are designed to help assemble items for donation to local and national charities. The best part? TeamBonding has built long-lasting relationships with major philanthropic organizations to ensure that your donated items get to those groups you want to help most. Join hands with TeamBonding to build a better world and bring your team closer. #CSR #teambuilding #giveback #communityimpact

It's not sexy. For lots of volunteer committees it can feel like a burden. For many starting out in the world of volunteer governance it can be quite frightening and overwhelming. But good governance is so important to ensure the sustainable future of our toy libraries. It has been super exciting to see all the toy libraries who have pulled on their big kid pants and sorted out their ACNC registration, the passion of our toy library community should never be underestimated. I am super proud to work for a peak body who provides practical support to enable volunteers to develop their understanding and mastery of good governance. If we want to bring more good people into the board rooms of Australia maybe we should all be looking to invest more in the good people who are already delivering on good governance right now in volunteer roles right across the country?

Thanksgiving is more than just a holiday for our family. It's a time to reflect on our values and traditions, which include giving back to our community.  From generation to generation, philanthropy and generosity run deep in our family's DNA. We do our best to find the opportunity to give back where we can, whether through a donation of time, resources, or goods; there are always opportunities to give back to those around us and build on the foundation of growing our community with our business.  On #NationalPhilanthropyDay, what are ways that you can give back to your community to help it grow? What are some of your favorite charities to partner with or how can you partner with them in the future to help raise awareness to their cause?
