Many counties in Southwest Virginia have received significant damages because of Helene. Many are asking how they can help and are wanting to specifically assist farmers in need. Extension Agents in Southwest Virginia are working to assess farmer needs and the availability of donations. If you have anyone interested in donating, Virginia Cooperative Extension is working to coordinate those efforts. We are trying to get materials where they are needed. VCE is working with the VIRGINIA CATTLEMENS ASSOCIATION on accepting financial donations and hope to have that set up soon. All those interested in donating can fill out this form: https://lnkd.in/e5VedmNn Any farmer affected by the storm that needs assistance can fill out this form to let VCE know: https://lnkd.in/e6H8pXGb. Extension agents will also be adding farmers to the list with their needs.

Did you know that 47 million people in America face hunger? My company, Artisan Learning, is teaming up with Feeding America this holiday season to help chip away at that number. Feeding America is part of a nationwide network of food banks, food pantries and community-based organizations in the United States working to create a future where no one is hungry. $1 to Feeding American can provide at least 10 meals. How is that possible? (That's what I wanted to know.) One way is that they work with the food industry to rescue food that would otherwise go to waste. That's a win-win in my book. Please take a minute to donate $5, $10, $20 or more to our fundraiser. Artisan will be matching donations, so your gift will go even farther. https://lnkd.in/ebw-6Ku4

Recent numbers show we are 3,000 boxes short of meeting CRM’s collection goal. Please help! Pitching in is simple: 1. Shop for items based on the list provided by CRM including a new small-size moving box (email CRM to get details) 2. Box items 3. Deliver to CRM on collection day! You don’t even have to get out of your vehicle. Volunteers help unload. With collection day and Thanksgiving fast approaching, please share with friends, family, neighbors, colleagues, church community, etc. to spread the word. Take it a step further: organize a collection drive in your neighborhood, business, or church to make a bigger impact! #GiveBack #Charlotte

Help Fight Summer Hunger! As summer approaches, many families struggle to find nutritious food when school meal programs are unavailable. ??

Our Commitment: Move For Hunger has delivered over 39 million meals by rescuing surplus food and partnering with moving companies, real estate professionals, and supporters like you.

Community impact? The primary impact of this firms business model increases homelessness (currently at 10K+ homeless people on any given night) by gentrifying neighborhoods and forcing people who make less money out. "Global day for people and planet" yet the firm musters up 2 small bins of mostly dog and cat food...this doesn't even align. How about taking on projects that actually help to reduce the number of homeless people in the city instead of ones that are for the affluent population and for corporations to profit from. I hope other architecture studios in Toronto can learn from these fake displays of positive community impact. Many studios like this promote themselves as doing good but really at a foundational socio-economic level, they drive some of the biggest problems in the city. #thinkcritically #communityimpact #torontohomeless

In 2023, 8.8 million Californians experienced food insecurity. This means that nearly 1 in every 4 individuals are unsure where their next meal will come from. Every year, lawyers across the state come together to try to provide critical funds to local food banks. So please join us in donating to your local food bank. If you don't have one, please consider donating to our firm's local food bank. Contra Costa County often receives far less resources than San Francisco and Alameda. But Contra Costa County has areas of significant need, including Richmond, Concord, and Pittsburg. https://lnkd.in/gYviBwzJ
