This month's nonprofit Spotlight is Community Services Clearinghouse: I got to sit down with Aubry Severe and learn about the ways this organization can help, and also hear about the impact they've already made. Here's what we discussed: Q. What is one thing you want our community to know about this organization? A. There is an on-site food pantry for elders, disabled, and individuals going through medical treatments. Q. How many were you able to help in 2023? A. *They helped 400 families a month with the food pantry *71,898 kids from Aug. 2023-May 2024 through the Meals for Kids Backpack program *142 schools in 7 counties Q. What brought you to this organization? A. Aubry first came as a volunteer for the holiday program for a few years then applied to become a caseworker, and is now the Director of Operations Q.

The holiday season is fast approaching, and it's a vital time for churches. December alone can drive nearly 30% of a nonprofit's annual donations, showing just how impactful this season of giving can be. With many churches experiencing a 10% boost in median income during this period, it's clear that thoughtful planning and community engagement are key. Now is the perfect moment to dream big and plan for an amazing year-end giving campaign. Want to learn more about maximizing this giving season?

?? **This holiday season, in the spirit of giving, we would love for you to consider the La Fondation Aspiration.** ?? Imagine this: Every $30 donation brings us one step closer to reaching our $100,000 goal to support youth facing food insecurity. And as a thank you, your contribution enters you for a chance to win an incredible **$4,000 travel voucher**! Let’s put those odds into perspective: - **Odds of winning the lottery?**?1 in 14 million??? - **Odds of winning a $4,000 travel voucher with us?*1 in 3,334?*Exponentially better! And with larger donations the odds only get better.* But here’s something even more meaningful: ?? **Odds of feeding a hungry child??100%.** ?? Your support directly impacts lives. Help us reach our goal and make a difference for the youth who need it most.

The Importance of tomorrow, Giving Tuesday, is twofold. While Black Friday kicks off the frenzy of holiday shopping, Giving Tuesday shifts our focus to the true spirit of the season. It's a day to look beyond our wish lists and take part in something bigger - making a meaningful difference in the world. For nonprofits, the impact of Giving Tuesday is profound: ?? Increased Donations A dedicated day of giving inspires a surge in contributions, helping nonprofits fund their critical work. ?? Community Building It brings people together, fostering connections around shared causes. ?? Awareness Raising Nonprofits can shine a spotlight on their mission and show the real impact of their efforts. ??
