I Live Here I Give Here

Not sure about y’all, but we are ready for a minute to just be grateful - to really focus on the things that we are thankful for in life. And you know what makes us really grateful these days? The little things. There is lots in our world that are out of our control. But there are SO many things that we can do - that we already do. And we see you all doing these things every day in our community. Thanks to each and every one of you for the things YOU DO - big and little - that demonstrate how we can all work together to make our local community and world a more generous place. With love and gratitude, The “I Live Here I Give Here” Team

The team at Rifeline makes giving back to our community look easy! As a Community Impact Partner with I Live Here I Give Here, their dedication to doing good and valuing their team is making a difference. This year, Rifeline stepped out of the office time and again, rolling up their sleeves with three incredible local nonprofits—strengthening our community and inspiring others to do the same. At Sunrise Homeless Navigation Center they put together outreach kits. At HopeAustin they assembled weekend food packs for kids. And coming up in December they're volunteering at The Salvation Army Austin? in their Christmas Warehouse. Way to Go Team Rifeline!
