VOLUNTEER Hampton Roads’ Post

For more than six years, Today Cleaners in Bakersfield, CA, has partnered with Marine Toys for Tots Foundation to bring holiday cheer to families across Kern County. Through its Annual Toy Drive, the company collects new, unwrapped toys to ensure children in need have a brighter holiday season. They also donated $2,500 to support the initiative and extend their impact even further. By combining community generosity with their own contributions, Today Cleaners exemplifies how businesses can play a vital role in giving back. Their ongoing efforts highlight the importance of supporting local families and making the holidays special for everyone. https://lnkd.in/dPMguPF #ClothingDrive #BakersfieldCA #DryCleaning #AffiliateNetwork #CommunitySupport

Want to have an impact in your community, but don't know where to start? Here's your guide to getting involved with DIGS: 1. Donate your gently used furniture & home goods to our warehouse, where they will be used to turn a house into a home for a Chicago family in need. Way better than wasting away in a landfill! We are open for donations Mondays & Wednesdays from 10am - 3pm. Scuff marks & stuck drawers are welcome :) 2. Sign up for a volunteer shift in the warehouse! Learn what a family wants to see in their home, then select furniture & home goods to bring their design ideas to life. Or spend your shift in the workshop upcycling furniture and home goods to be like-new for a DIGS family! 3. Join us for a DIGS Day! We move in a truck full of goodies every week, and we need hands to do it! Whether you want to volunteer solo, with your friends & family, or with your corporate team, we've got a DIGS Day for you. 4. Donate funds to support our organization as we continue to grow into our goal of breaking the cycle of homelessness one family at a time!

This week we're celebrating 40 years of Volunteers' Week! 🤩 Each and every one of our volunteers plays a massive part in what we're able to achieve every single day! Without them, we simply couldn't treat as many poorly pets as we do. From sorting through stock donations and getting them ready to be displayed on the shop floor, to helping our lovely customers find their perfect second-hand pieces, there’s always something fun to do and new skills to learn 👏 Why not give volunteering a go for yourself? http://pdsa.me/U7cA [Visual description: A series of clips of volunteers in various PDSA charity shops. The clips involve them sorting through clothes on the shop floor, sorting through donated books, arranging the shops displays and steaming clothes.] #VolunteersWeek #Volunteer #Volunteers #Volunteering #VolunteerOpportunities #Charity #CharityShop

Is anyone preparing to do some spring cleaning before May comes? 🙌 While you're dusting down the shelves, wiping down the counters, and sweeping up the floors, don't forget to work through those old/unused/worn out items that are ready to move out the door. One of the easiest ways to declutter any room is to have three bins—one for things to sell, another for donations, and a third for trash. Oh, and don't forget to grab those bags of items you were supposed to donate last year but have been taking up room in your garage instead! #CustomOrganization #stpetefl #customclosets #customorganization #homeorganization

We're half way through small business month and wanted to give you all a few friendly reminders on why we're celebrating: 1️⃣Supporting small businesses strengthens the local economy: When you choose to support small businesses, you're not just making a purchase – you're contributing to the growth of your community. Your support helps stimulate economic growth and fosters job creation right in your own neighborhood. 2️⃣Small businesses offer unique and personalized products and services: From handmade crafts to specialty foods, small businesses offer a diverse range of products and services 3️⃣Small businesses give back to the community: Many small businesses prioritize giving back to their communities by partnering with local charities and organizations. When you support these businesses, you're not just making a purchase – you're also contributing to important causes and making a positive impact in your area. It's a win-win for everyone!

Today is National Give Something Away Day, which is the perfect time to declutter your space and give back to the community. Did you know that 25% of people with two-car garages don't have room to park cars inside them? 🚗📦 Whether it's old clothes, books, or household items, your donations can make a huge difference.
