🥖 Fresh from the oven! 🍞 In the heart of Fredericton, something wholesome is rising, and it's not just sourdough! Greener Village is cooking up a heartwarming program where folks can learn to bake bread while making a difference in their community. 💡 Here's why this kneads your attention: - Baking is more than a skill—it's an art form that brings people together and now, it gives back too. - This blend of culinary teaching and community service is a novel approach to fostering social bonds and nourishing both bodies and souls. - We're witnessing the mixture of tradition and charity work to create a community-focused recipe for positive change. 👨🍳 If this initiative proves successful, I predict it could rise to the occasion and become a model for community engagement far beyond Fredericton: - Encouraging self-sufficiency while addressing food security. - Inspiring similar programs elsewhere, baking a worldwide batch of generosity. 💭 Let's reflect on what this could mean – a movement stirred together with the yeast of good will and the flour of community support. Imagine that waft of freshly-baked bread bringing communities together, loaf by loaf. 📈 This rolls out vast potential for both personal and communal growth. And isn't that just the kind of news we could all use a slice of these days? #CommunitySpirit #BakingADifference #GreenerVillage #FrederictonFinds #CulinaryCommunity #BreadForChange 💼 Fancy a chat about how simple ideas can create impactful waves in the community?

🥙 🤼 Making a Difference with Everybody Eats! Something close to my heart is giving back & when I find opportunities to do so with the added benefit of a greener outcome, I am keen to get involved. This week our Custom Crew at Custom Fleet had the privilege of volunteering with Everybody Eats, a pay-as-you-feel dining concept for everyone. We worked both in the front and back of house service teams supporting the evenings food service. We left feeling inspired by their mission of 'Feeding Bellies not Bins' and all in all couldn't have gotten more out of the experience, to the customers, fellow volunteers and Everybody Eats team - thanks! If you’re looking for ways to get involved or support a great cause, I highly recommend checking out Everybody Eats and seeing how you can contribute to their mission. Everybody Eats is focused on tackling three main problems: 1- Too much food - Humans waste around one-third of the food we produce. 1.3 Billion tonnes of perfectly good food, worth over One Trillion dollars. 2 - Not enough food - At the same time over one billion people are going hungry. Recent studies show that in New Zealand 1 in 6 people don't have enough to eat. 3 - Disconnected - Communities are increasingly fragmented. We don't know our neighbours anymore. Social Isolation is a significant and growing problem. Tania Hammond Adam Peters Nadine Martin #Volunteering #CustomFleet #CommunitySupport #GreenImpact #EverybodyEats #CustomCares

Farmer Markets ++ Farmers markets serve as social hubs where people can gather, fostering relationships between farmers, consumers, and local businesses. Creating a successful farmers market involves careful planning, community engagement, and ongoing management. Steps for Implementation: *Identify potential funding sources such as grants, sponsorships, or partnerships with local businesses and nonprofits. * Select a central, accessible location with high foot traffic, ample parking, and adequate space for vendors and customers. Consider public spaces such as parks, community centers, or town squares. * Navigate local regulations related to food safety, permits, zoning, and health codes. Collaborate with health departments to ensure compliance. * Choose a consistent day and time for the market that aligns with community needs and seasonal availability of products. Consider whether to have a weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly schedule. *Develop a marketing strategy to promote the market through social media, local newspapers, flyers, and community boards. Highlight the benefits of shopping local. * Incorporate live music, cooking demonstrations, or children’s activities to make the market a social destination. Provide adequate seating, shade, and rest areas for customers.

For more than a decade, our Double Up Food Bucks program has helped families in Flint, Michigan access more fresh fruits and vegetables. In fact, Double Up has been so popular in Flint that the city has become a centerpiece for program innovations. But despite this historic impact, Double Up usage in Flint — unlike in every other community where the program is available in Michigan — has declined in recent years. We recently launched a new community engagement strategy in Flint that increased Double Up usage by 49% in 2023. Read our latest impact report for more about our efforts to help Flint families, farmers, and food businesses thrive by increasing access to fresh fruits and vegetables. https://lnkd.in/gh6nX44u

The fulfillment derived from being a part of Rotary stems from the knowledge that their actions have positively impacted someone else's life. The individual believes that the desire to create a meaningful difference in the world is a crucial virtue to cultivate. They are constantly inspired by the dedicated individuals encountered within Rotary, witnessing the passion they invest in their roles and the tangible results they achieve. These individuals embody the ethos of the organization, embodying it in their daily lives, and in return, Rotary garners a wealth of goodwill and support. Moreover, they believe in the importance of incorporating fun into their endeavors. As Dr. Seuss aptly put it, "Fun is good." Therefore, they infuse a sense of liveliness into their club's volunteering activities, reinterpreting the "Service above Self" mantra to include enjoyment. After all, if joy is not found in their Rotary service, their commitment may wane. Contributing to their community and relishing the enjoyment that Rotary brings allows them to break out of their comfort zone. Through Rotary, they have the opportunity to interact with individuals from diverse backgrounds, fostering a sense of equality among them as Rotarians. In today's fast-paced world, it is easy to overlook the significance of building community and embracing joy. If each person made a conscious effort daily to positively impact someone's life, particularly those they do not know, the world would undoubtedly be a better place. Curious about joining our team of community minded leaders go to https://kalrotary.ca #kalrotary #community #rotarymembership #servicebeforeself #vernonbc

At The Bite Project we offer a free day to our people each year to use for their own thoughtful activity, e.g. cultural, creative, educational, volunteering, family time etc. We call it T-time, a.k.a “thoughtful time”. We also have an annual team T-Time where we all get together to do an activity. This year it was a team volunteering day. Doing volunteering as a team can be a great way to encourage staff to volunteer without them having to organise it off their own back - and by showing them it’s a company commitment that leadership are on board with (not just lip service). This year the team headed over to Port Melbourne to do “Cooking for a Cause” with OzHarvest. This is a great initiative as it has a range of important benefits - education, helping the environment and assisting those in need. We learnt about zero-waste cooking, sustainability…and some handy cooking skills. During our session our team was able to make use of surplus food rescued from landfill to make gourmet meals. These were then sent off to feed people in vulnerable communities. Learning that Australians throw 1 in every 5 grocery bags in the bin has definitely made me think about food waste at home more seriously. It was a nice way to get out of the office, connect with the team and feel good doing something that helps a very worthy cause. 💪 Achievements 17 sticky date puddings 69 mushroom & veg pockets 60ish people fed 10kg of food rescued from landfill Organising a team day for a cause that aligns with everyone’s values is a great way to give back - and have fun while doing it. #volunteering #teambuilding #cookingforacause #ozharvest #sustainability

The Value of Community Relations in Business. Many big companies flaunt their support for the community and the environment, showcasing their commitment to Corporate Research Social Responsibility (CSR). Companies like Hollywoodbets bet's Hollywood foundation, MoFaya Energy Drink's MoCares, Dulux transforming communities, and Clover S.A. Proprietary Limited clover pinnacle bursary, to name a few. Surprisingly, many novice entrepreneurs and newly self-employed individuals overlook this concept. 🥲 Community relations, also known as CSR, is the ability of an organization to build mutually beneficial relationships with the community. By engaging in community relations, businesses can ensure that their stakeholders see them as mercenaries (not only profit driven) but also as missionaries (socially responsible). CSR initiatives may vary depending on the nature and size of the business. From offering sponsorship to local art and sports initiatives, donating to after-school programs to offering skills development opportunities and bursaries. The list long. 📝 When a business demonstrates commitment to CSR, it enhances a good reputation, increases brand awareness, emphasizes company values, builds credibility, allows easier marketing, and gives stakeholders a sense of value to the world. For those new to the concept of CSR, adopting community relations strategies can be a powerful way to start. Whether through collaborating with schools on fundraising projects, environment cleaning initiatives, or animal welfare projects. You can maintain a positive impact in communities and simultaneously build great brand image. 💡Catch my next post about examples of trending CSR initiatives to try out this year.💯🔥 Like and follow for more. Don't forget that communication is key 🔑 🫡 #community #publicrelations #goals2024 #businessgrowth #marketing #goals #businesstalk #crs #communityrelations #entrepreneurship
