We recently added an off-campus volunteer engagement opportunity to the Activate Good volunteer hub! This opportunity involves assembling hygiene and food bags for our participants at both campuses as well as individuals experiencing homelessness. Visit this link https://lnkd.in/eFaqE8T5 for more information on what items can go into these bags and how to get involved. If you're looking to get involved as a group, this is a great way to start! #HealingTransitions #Volunteer #LongTermRecovery #Recovery

DO YOU KNOW? When things get tough, it's important to take a step back, breathe, and break the problem down into smaller parts. Focus on what you can control and take small, manageable steps towards finding a solution." Now, let's apply this nugget to a societal challenge, like homelessness: "When we see people struggling with homelessness, it's easy to feel overwhelmed by the enormity of the issue. Instead of feeling helpless, we can break it down. We might not be able to solve homelessness for everyone, but we can focus on what we can do, like supporting local shelters, volunteering time or resources, or advocating for policies that provide affordable housing and support services. By taking small steps together, we can make a big difference in the lives of those experiencing homelessness." #30daysbrandingchallengewithTonye #brandasacounsellor #counsellorsrock

On this Homeless Person's Memorial Day, let's take a moment to reflect on some eye-opening facts about homelessness both locally and nationally. Did you know? 1. As many as 1 out of every 30 children in the US experiences homelessness. 2. The fastest-growing population of homeless individuals is older adults. Our elders, who have given so much to society, often find themselves without shelter or support. 3. In 2023 to-date, our local 211 has handled a staggering 9,675 calls related to housing and employment assistance. This is a clear indication of the pressing need for affordable housing and living wage employment in our community. At United Way, we believe everyone deserves a safe place to call their own and should be treated with dignity and respect. Let's remember that we can all make a difference by looking out for each other, volunteering, and advocating for policies that address homelessness.

INAMAX Powered by Ultra recognizes today, October 10th, as #NationalHomelessDay. The global campaign aims to draw attention to the needs of people who experience homelessness locally and provide opportunities for the community to get involved in responding to homelessness. At INAMAX, we encourage all to give back, and specifically our very own team, by considering taking an opportunity to use 8 hours of volunteering allotted to employees annually to take time off to give back to the community and can be used at a food bank or shelter. DID YOU KNOW? According to the January 2022 PIT Count, 582,462 people were experiencing homelessness across America. This amounts to roughly 18 out of every 10,000 people1. The vast majority (72 percent) were individual adults, but a notable share (28 percent) were people living in families with children. #HomelessDay #Giveback #INAMAX #INAMAXpoweredbyUltra #helpingpeople

🏠💖 **Extending a Helping Hand to Our Homeless Neighbors** 💫🤝 ♥️🌈🌟 As the cold winds of winter blow and the holiday season approaches, let's take a moment to remember our homeless neighbors who are facing even greater challenges during this time. While many of us are cozy in our homes, there are countless individuals sleeping rough on the streets, struggling to find warmth, shelter, and sustenance. 🌈🌟 But amidst the hardships, there is hope – hope that each one of us can make a difference in the lives of those experiencing homelessness. It doesn't take grand gestures or deep pockets to lend a helping hand; sometimes, the smallest acts of kindness can have the biggest impact. 🌈♥️🌟 Together, let's create a community where everyone has a place to call home and no one is left out in the cold. Let's be the light in someone's darkness and the warmth in their coldest nights. After all, in a world where kindness is free, let's be generous with it. 🌟🤝 #HelpingHomeless #CompassionInAction #CommunitySupport #KindnessMatters #NoOneLeftBehind

Breaking Barriers: Empowering Street and Homeless Children for a Better Tomorrow! On this International Street Children Day, let's shed light on the realities faced by these resilient young souls. While 'street children' and 'homeless children' are sometimes used interchangeably, there are important distinctions between the two. Not all homeless children live openly on the streets; many find themselves in hidden circumstances, such as sleeping on floors or in temporary accommodations like hostels. Shockingly, in 2018, around 9,500 children in the UK spent Christmas in hostels or temporary housing, often facing cramped living conditions and sharing facilities with strangers. Join us in raising awareness about this issue and providing essential support to empower street and homeless children. Together, we can break barriers, create equal opportunities, and build a brighter future for every child in need. #StreetChildrenDay #HomelessChildren #BreakingBarriers #RaisingAwareness #SupportingChildren #BuildingABetterFuture #EmpoweringYouth #MakingADifference #ChildrensRights #EqualOpportunities #SocialImpact #EndChildHomelessness #CharityWork
