San Diego North Educational Foundation的动态

Today, we come together to celebrate generosity and the power of community. At the True North Foundation, we are on a mission to support veterans, military families, and nonprofit organizations that make a lasting impact across the country. Every year, over 200,000 service members transition to civilian life, often facing challenges like finding purpose, employment, and community. Through our four pillars—education, employment, adaptive sports, and rehabilitation—we work tirelessly to bridge these gaps and empower our nation’s heroes. Your donation today directly supports: ? Scholarships for military children through partners like the Marine Corps Scholarship Foundation. ? Transitional support for veterans and military spouses through organizations like Dog Tag Inc. ? Adaptive sports programs and rehabilitation services for injured veterans, such as those provided by Stay In Step and Merging Vets and Players. When you give to the True North Foundation, you’re not just donating—you’re investing in the futures of those who have served. Together, we can ensure veterans and their families thrive beyond their time in uniform. ??

???Giving Tuesday is here!??? Today, as I reflect on how proud I am to have recently joined?Workshops for Warriors?(WFW), I am reminded of Edith Eger’s wise words: "You can live to avenge the past, or you can live to enrich the present." ("The Choice") Joining WFW has allowed me to embrace the latter, enriching not only my life but also the lives of those we serve. As someone who has faced numerous challenges, from relocating to the U.S. to raising my wonderful children alone, I've realized the irreplaceable value of supportive, caring, and trustworthy people. At WFW, we extend this same support to our veterans and transitioning service members, empowering them beyond professional training. We care for each individual, addressing not just career skills but also personal and familial challenges. Every day, I witness transformations that go beyond new careers in advanced manufacturing. It’s about cultivating a community where compassion is an action—whether it’s discussing personal struggles or literally helping to start a car stranded in the middle of nowhere. These acts of kindness, often considered minor, are the threads that weave our safety net. This?Giving Tuesday, let's celebrate and spread the ethos of WFW. Join us in making a profound difference, enriching the present and crafting a hopeful future. #GivingTuesday #WorkshopsForWarriors #ProudToBePartOfTheMission #EmpoweringVeterans #BuildingFutures #VeteranSupport #EndOfYearGiving #MakeADifference #GiveBack

Are you looking for a non-profit to support this #GivingTuesday? ? I'd like to shout-out Stronghold Food Pantry, which was founded by my sister-in-law Monica Bassett. Stronghold is a volunteer-run, 501(c)(3) charitable organization serving American military families facing food insecurity with care and dignity by providing food, necessities, and resources.? ? ?? Why does the work Stronghold do matter? ?? Approximately 24% of active-duty service members and their families in the US military experience food insecurity, meaning they do not have access to sufficient food to meet their basic needs. You can read more about why Monica started Stronghold in this article: https://lnkd.in/eWGGCCWk ? ?? Details to donate ?? If you're interested, you can donate two ways: 1. directly via the website (https://lnkd.in/dhCAumjg) 2. support their Angel Tree program via this Amazon wishlist (https://lnkd.in/e8KqmKXY)

On this #GivingTuesday, we invite you to help give our service members in transition an incredible gift. One of the major challenges service members, military spouses, and veterans face as they begin their new chapters as civilians is not having the tools to figure out who they are outside their uniform, what they want to do, and even what is going to make them happy. Those aren't questions service members tend to ask themselves while still actively involved in service to our nation. They're honorably focused on the "We." But to succeed as civilians, they need to learn how to be a "me" as well. Today, as we rally with others dedicated to supporting our military community, we've set a lofty goal of $5000, for our flagship program "Changing Focus: Moving From We to Me." Your support will make it possible for transitioning service members, veterans, and their spouses to participate in the workshop at zero cost. LTI is a 501(c)(3) non-profit, woman and veteran-owned, organization, with a team of veterans and military spouses focused on walking beside those making pivots in their lives beyond the uniform.

Should our heroes feel alone? Suicide is the primary cause of death among active duty Service Members. Let me repeat that... SUICIDE is the primary cause of death among active duty Service Members. This. Should. Not. Happen. Our heroes should never feel alone. Since 2003, Soldiers' Angels has sent over 1,038,900 care packages to deployed Service Members. That's 1,038,900 morale-boosting pieces of mail that ensure they know America stands with them. America remembers them. But we need more. Right now, nearly 300 deployed Service Members are currently waiting to be supported by Soldiers' Angels. They feel alone and isolated—they need support. But without more funding, we cannot support them. Let a deployed Service Member know that you remember them and donate today: ?? Donate now via Facebook: https://bit.ly/3OCMWiU ??
