Visiting Nurse Association Health Group’s Post

As the owner of an event venue, I’ve witnessed the joy that good food brings to gatherings. However, it’s essential to remember that behind every plate is a story and resources that should never go to waste. Here’s what one can do: 1. Plan menus based on accurate guest counts.   2. Serve smaller portion sizes.   3. Donate excess food to local charities.   4. Use creative food displays.   5. Educate staff on portion control.   6. Offer take-home options for guests.   7. Incorporate seasonal ingredients.   8. Use buffet-style service.   9. Encourage guests to share plates.   10. Track food waste for future improvements. #WorldFoodDay #HappyWorldFoodDay #EventManagement #Founder #FounderInsights

CALLING all community non-profit and service organizations who want to be a part of the food insecurity solution by bringing a fun, interactive, community-building food drive event to your community.  While we’re all still enjoying the dog days of summer, it’s the perfect time to think about ‘Fall Fundraising’. With higher food prices and increasing shortages affecting us all, Sharecrows.org offers a creative, grassroots solution to restock community food banks by turning scarecrows into Sharecrows.  What’s a Sharecrow? A Sharecrow is a scarecrow display with a bin for collecting non-perishable food items to help restock local food banks. As communities across North America face varying degrees of food bank shortages, this is the perfect event to replenish food bank supplies. Sharecrows.org has introduced a straightforward Fall Food Drive event designed for non-profit/service organizations to host in their communities. They’ve done all the heavy event planning lifting and made it super easy for your organization to roll out. Sharecrows.org presents a triple-win opportunity for your organization to become a "Hunger Hero" and contribute to alleviating food insecurities. A win for food banks facing critical shortages. A win for the community to engage in a fun and interactive scarecrow food drive tour, fostering creativity, community building, and supporting a good cause. A win for your organization, as the funds raised can benefit local food banks and other community programs. Residents and storefront owners who register for participation commit to crafting a scarecrow, displaying it from October 20 to 31, placing a bin for non-perishable food items, and having their address on a Sharecrows Tour Map for residents to take tours, with a supply of ‘treats’ for the scarecrows along the way. As Halloween and Thanksgiving draw near, it's an ideal time for this interactive and innovative Food Drive event. Visit www.Sharecrows.org to learn more about the event and how to become part of the Sharecrows.org community. Be a Hunger Hero in your community; be a part of the solution. Secure your spot now. *All early bird members will be grandfathered into special introductory rates.

Food brings people together – from first dates to family get-togethers. Many of us are lucky to be able to access so many amazing cuisines, dishes, ingredients and flavours in the cosmopolitan world we live in today. Plus, we know more about what makes a healthy diet and what bodies need to function well. World Food Day celebrates all of this. But it’s also a day to raise awareness for people who don’t share these privileges. One of the best ways to celebrate World Food Day is by giving to those who need it most: such as making a donation to a food bank or charity, or adding a specified item or two to your grocery shopping and donating it on your way out. #worldfoodday #vitamins #supplements #healthandwellness #health #wellness

Does anyone else find it ironic that "hospital" and "hospitality" both came from the same word? They're both derived from the Latin word "hospes", which means both 'host' and 'guest'. It reflects the reciprocal relationship between those who provide care and those who receive it. It seems those who directly interact with hospital patients still understand and practice the art of hospitality. There's still a lot of 'care' inside hospitals. However, the 'business' side of most hospitals is the opposite of hospitable. Surprise bills, upcoding, patients sent to collections, minimal charity care... That's NOT hospitality. It's Big Business.

Have I ever told you how much I can get stressed by my job? 😳  Hey, I’ve told you a hundred times how much I love it, and I do. Sometimes the sheer weight of knowing that thousands of vulnerable Victorians rely on you to get things done, can be hard. So… I figure I need your help. And it’s simple: 1.  Run a food drive at work! I have the resources to help.  2.  Going to the supermarket tonight? Double up on some (or all!) of your items and take them in to work.  3.  Got kids at school? Their own friends may be skipping meals. 1 in 4 Aussie families are. Ask your school community to help out.    4.  Got a minute? Read & share this post. Sharing is #Anglicaring (yup, I’m trademarking that 😜) #BetterTogether

Event being set up here but don’t forget about local bars when looking to host an event. They usually have food available at the venues and access to all the drinks you might need. Usually, a buyout is required for a charity event, but on week nights, excluding Friday, you can rent the space for a fairly reasonable price. @wastedgrainscottsdale #eventplanner #eventplanningaz #eventplanning #eventplanningtips #corporateevents #corporateplanner #corporateplanning #weddingplanning #weddingplanner #eventtips #drinks #eventcocktails #workconference #businessconference #weddingsandevents #businessmeetings
