How is Your School Giving Back This Holiday Season? The holiday season is the perfect time for schools to inspire generosity and foster a spirit of giving within our students and communities. At Congressional, we’re always looking for new and creative ways to make an impact, and we know many of you are doing incredible work during this special time of year! Whether it’s organizing food drives, creating care packages, or partnering with local charities, schools have a unique opportunity to show students the power of coming together for a greater cause. This year, we’re exploring ways to make our efforts even more meaningful, and I’d love to hear from you: 🎁 What community service projects is your school planning for the holidays? 💡 What traditions or initiatives have you found most impactful? 🤝 How do you involve your students, families, and broader community in the spirit of giving?

At Hyve, we’re committed to investing 1% of our profits annually into two community projects. And the best part? Our colleagues drive this meaningful change by nominating projects that mean something to them. Anna Bailey, Senior Content Producer for Bett, connected with 2econd Chance at our Bett Global show - a charity tackling e-waste by refurbishing computers while providing work-based training for people with disabilities and those furthest from the job market. Through this partnership, we’re funding eight bursaries for their training programme and supporting the refurbishment of 50 laptops to be donated to those who need them most. Listen to 2econd Chance’s story – an inspiring example of turning e-waste into opportunity and empowerment! 💚♻️💻 #Sustainability #socialimpact #ESG #communityengagement #LifeAtHyve

Parenting is no easy task; doing it alone poses unique challenges. Among them, managing household expenses on a single income and securing affordable, stable housing often top the list. 🏘️💰 Research shows that these struggles are all too common, yet tragically overlooked by society at large. As we build tech solutions for life’s challenges, let’s not forget the key role affordable housing plays in enabling single parents to thrive. This calls for a collective responsibility, one that stretches beyond individual efforts to encompass businesses, organizations, and society as a whole. If you've questioned the impact of your organization's charity goals or social responsibility efforts, consider redirecting focus towards supporting single parents. Support can range from providing affordable housing solutions, donating, or simply spreading awareness 📣 about the plight of single parents. Start by following us https://lnkd.in/gvSp_HKx and liking 👍 our posts to raise awareness. Every like, share and comment adds up - all these 'simple acts' go a long route in our fight to secure #AffordableHousing and support #SingleParents. Together, let's build a world where no single parent feels overlooked. #CommunityBuilders #ShreveportHousing #LouisianaCommunity #HousingForAll #CBAHousing #SupportSingleParents #CommunityDevelopment #BuildingBetterFutures #ShreveportStrong #TogetherWeBuild 🏡🙌

How can you provide a sense of safety for foster youth in your care? One of the most important roles that you will play as a foster parent is to ensure that the youth in your care truly feel like they are welcomed and are in a safe environment. It can be unsettling and jarring to move to a new place, and for our youth, this type of change might also be triggering or upsetting. That is why it is so vital to stick to routines, have a clear and open line of communication, and always keep things consistent whenever possible. However, should you ever need to implement a change, try to give the youth a heads-up. It's all about building trust and ensuring they know they're valued and understood.

Empowering Communities One Piglet at a Time with Sesera Youth’s Piglet Project In the spirit of community and shared prosperity, the Sesera Youth’s Piglet Project is not just about giving; it’s about creating a sustainable cycle of empowerment. Each family that receives a piglet from us takes on a journey of care and commitment. As these piglets grow and become parents themselves, the original family’s joy is doubled as they extend this gift to two more families—each receiving one piglet. This isn’t just a project; it’s a promise—a promise of growth, support, and community resilience. With every new litter, the promise is renewed, and more families are welcomed into a circle of support that keeps on expanding. Imagine the impact: one piglet becomes many, and those many piglets continue to nurture new lives, new hopes, and new dreams. This is the vision of the Sesera Youth’s Piglet Project, where every contribution is a seed for tomorrow’s harvest. Join us in this beautiful journey of giving and growth. Be a part of a movement that’s more than charity—it’s a legacy of love and life that keeps on giving.
