?? Support Our Youth This Holiday Season! ?? Hey Benji Foundation is gearing up for our Youth Holiday Social, and we need YOUR help to make it a success! We're collecting hygiene, beauty, home essentials, and recreational items for youth ages 14-21. Your donations will not only bring joy this holiday season but also boost self-esteem and confidence for our kids—especially at a time when appearance-related bullying is all too common. Let’s come together and make a difference in their lives this holiday season! ?? For donations and sponsorship inquiries, contact us at [email protected] Become a sponsor to ensure we reach as many youth as possible #HeyBenjiFoundation #YouthHolidaySocial #SupportOurYouth #ConfidenceMatters #GiveBack

As we transition into the fall, it's a great time to reflect on the importance of self-care and community impact. With the start of a new season, there's an opportunity to reset and refocus on both our personal well-being and our philanthropic goals. At the Hey Benji Foundation, we're excited to continue supporting students with our programs, from Social Emotional Learning to providing children's books and writing journals. This September, let's make self-care a priority. Whether it's through mindfulness, journaling, or simply taking a moment to breathe, taking care of ourselves allows us to better serve others. Let's embrace #SelfCareSeptember and set the tone for a season of growth, compassion, and giving back. How are you planning to prioritize self-care this month? #SelfCareSeptember #Philanthropy #FallSeason #CommunityImpact #SocialEmotionalLearning
