Does giving really make you happy? A series of studies found that neurons in the portion of the brain associated with a sense of satisfaction start firing when a person chooses to donate their money or time. Volunteering is a great way to give and is truly appreciated by the recipient. These are a few ways to help out: 🐶 Walk dogs at a local animal shelter. 📚 Help kids with their homework. 🎶 Offer free lessons in something you’re good at. 🧵 Offer to sew up old clothes and stuffed toys. 💻 Provide IT help to local adults. 📖 Read to kids in local hospitals. 👵 Spend time with senior citizens in local senior centres. 🎉 Find a local fundraiser and offer to help. 🤝 Offer your skills to a non-profit organization. Or, become a member at the Rotary Club of Barrie. There are always new and exciting events we host and we would love to have volunteers like you! #RotaryClubBarrie #Volunteer

paying it forward

Hyperion's Mexico Site Generous Donation Empowers Manada San to Support Over 250 Stray Dogs!! Manada San has been a beacon of hope for stray and abandoned dogs, offering them not only shelter but also love and rehabilitation. With over 250 dogs housed at the facility, the need for resources is paramount, and donations like Hyperion's play a crucial role in maintaining operations. In a heartwarming gesture of community support, CCIH (Hyperion Collaboration and Integration Committee) from Hyperion Materials & Technologies Mexico Site we decided recently donated 84 pallets, they will serve for multiple purposes, this pallet will be essential for creating elevated dog beds and houses, which improve the duration of them. Hyperion is not only committed to innovation and sustainability in its business practices but also to giving back to the community. This recent donation aligns with their corporate values, emphasizing the importance of making a positive impact in the communities they serve. By supporting local initiatives like Manada San, Hyperion reinforces its mission to be a responsible corporate citizen that values compassion and community engagement. Together we can make a difference, one paw at a time. #dogshelter #engagement #corporatevalues #positiveimpact #onepawatatime #donation #empowerment #communityengagement

WARNING: Statistically insignificant sample size to draw conclusions, but I'm gonna go ahead and do that anyway😏 I get pumped when one of the dogs at the shelter I volunteer at gets adopted. That's the whole purpose of why we do what we do. (there's been a whole bunch of forever homes found lately😊) Interestingly, and perhaps not surprisingly, the people doing the adopting are: 🐶 Dog owners looking to add to the family 🐶 People who've adopted rescues before 🐶 Folks that have gotten other dogs from our shelter 🐶 Shelter volunteers So why is that? My dumb guess is that there is: 🐕 Emotional attachment 🐕 Comfort level with the process 🐕 Belief in the outcome 🐕 Trust in our organization 🐕 A desire to be part of the solution 🐕 Joy in sharing a purpose with others Now if only there was some hidden message in here about how both nonprofit and for-profit organizations should be defining their prospects and building enduring partnerships 🤔 #nonprofits #businessdevelopment

Join us in our mission to provide housing and care for homeless individuals and their beloved pets. With your support, we can reach our goal of renting a location to give displaced individuals a safe place for their furry companions while they work towards stability. Additionally, we aim to foster cats and dogs that are currently in overcrowded shelters, giving them a chance at finding their forever homes. It’s heartbreaking to think about families having to surrender their pets due to lack of space in shelters or living on the streets with their beloved companions. Together, we can make a difference and ensure that no pet is left behind. By donating to Beartha, you are directly impacting the lives of both the paw parent and the pet, taking a step in the right direction towards a more compassionate society. Did you know that between 5% to 10% of homeless people in the US own pets? With your help, we can provide essential resources and support to these individuals and their furry friends. Every donation counts, whether it’s through monetary contributions, volunteering, fostering a pet, or spreading the word about our cause. Let’s work together to make a positive impact in our community and beyond. Remember, self-care is important too! Take care of yourself so you can better care for others.
