https://lnkd.in/efHXiG92 If you care about the other apes - bonobos, chimpanzees, gibbons, gorillas, orangutans and siamangs - today, #GivingDayforApes, is a good day to chip in a few quid, bucks, Euros or Yen to one or more of the organisations working to protect them and their habitat. Here's a list of those taking part...

As a bit of balance to the usual noise. With the 🐣 Easter school holidays 🐣looming large, many families find themselves more stretched than usual and a lot of kids end up going hungry. So in the spirit of always looking for the helpers, please do consider (this includes companies) supporting and/or elevating organisations working on the ground to combat this reality as well as support kids in school who are not receiving meals. Some links below, but please do comment with more. ✨ Magic Breakfast - offers over 200,000 breakfasts every day to children and young people in schools across England and Scotland.  https://lnkd.in/ecGbGcHJ ✨ FareShare - is a UK national network of charitable food redistributes, made up of 18 independent organisations. They take quality surplus food from across the food industry and deliver it to 8,500 frontline charities and community groups. This includes school breakfast clubs, elderly people’s lunch clubs, homeless shelters and community cafes.  https://fareshare.org.uk/ ✨ The Felix Project -  aims to change the fact that millions of people in the UK regularly experience hunger, yet tonnes of surplus fresh food is thrown away every day. The project collects fresh, nutritious food that cannot be sold, and delivers it to schools and charities.  They also run a specific programme in London, alongside The Mayors Fund, to tackle the issue of school holiday shortfalls.  https://lnkd.in/eXVpcmgz  https://lnkd.in/eb3d8BD2 ✨ Little Village - adding for good measure as they (and most baby banks) are constantly in need to support and donations as they receive an ask for help on average every 45 seconds right now, as 4,3 million children live in poverty in the UK.

Summer is finally here! For children facing food insecurity, summer break creates uncertainty. During the school year, many students throughout Southern Colorado receive free or reduced-price breakfast and lunch at school. When school ends for the summer, so do these meals. Eliminating summer hunger is no small challenge, but our team of Partner Food Pantries and Direct Service Sites is increasing food distributions so kids like Daniella can spend more time playing, growing, and creating lasting memories -- like eating lots of Daniella's favorite, strawberries!
