Local toy drives have a special place in our hearts because they directly impact the lives of children in our very own community. Your contribution, no matter how big or small, can make a world of difference to a child who may otherwise go without a gift during the holidays. By donating to local drives, you're not only spreading joy but also fostering a sense of togetherness and compassion. Where can you donate? Big Brothers and Big Sisters of RI: This local organization collects clothing and soft fabrics for children in need and distributes them to families within the community. You can donate to their bins at the VFW as well as the Cup Defenders on Wood St. Bristol Police Department: They often host a holiday toy drive, and donations can be dropped off at their headquarters. Local Churches: Many churches in Bristol actively participate in toy drives during the holiday season. Check with your local parish to see if they have a collection. Schools and Community Centers: Keep an eye out for toy collection bins at your local schools or community centers. If we can become aware of others and what the community is hosting this holiday season, one purchase, one drive, one thought can directly impact someone else this holiday season for the better. This is your Daily Dose of the day! #MondayMotivation #Donations #HolidaySeason #BristolRI #RhodeIsland #DailyDoseofBristolRI

Last week, Alton’s New York office took part in our Pledge 1% volunteer day initiative, once again teaming up with West Side Campaign Against Hunger (WSCAH) in Manhattan to help alleviate hunger in the city.    WSCAH’s crucial work ensures all New Yorkers have access with dignity to a choice of healthy food and support services. In support of the organization’s community-focused mission, the Alton team helped prepare 1,490 bags of fresh or shelf-stable food to serve more than 600 families in New York.     Each year Alton supports Pledge 1% https://lnkd.in/eW_ANjH, where we not only donate 1% of our revenue, but also 1% of our time to charitable causes.       Please join us in helping West Side Campaign Against Hunger with its impactful work by donating here: https://lnkd.in/d3eDAKJ   #community #socialresponsibility #corporatecitizenship #givingback #WSCAH #Pledge1%

Any business owners willing to donate an item to the Shine Bright for Children Gala, which benefits the @cacfingerlakes? The CACFL supports child abuse survivors and your donation would help provide them with advocacy, forensic interviews, comfort care items, bedding and more. You'd help some of the most vulnerable kids in the community AND we would promote your business! You could gain exposure to hundreds of potential new clients/customers. It's truly a win-win. So, if you sell something, consider donating an item or a basket of items. If you provide a service, consider providing a session of that service. Who wants to help kids? #auction #donation #taxdeduction #supportkids #community

Better living through giving. Now is the time to plan for your end of the year giving. Charitable contributions to causes that you cherish, such as church, animal shelter, or homeless shelters, help provide integral funds to nonprofit institutions and are hugely rewarding for you. The Gracestone advisors will be mindful of your philanthropic goals while guiding you in making informed decisions concerning your contributions, which includes establishing and implementing a charitable giving strategy tailored to you and the causes near and dear to you. — #giving #contributions #thisisgracestone

As many of you know, Sojourner House launched a campaign early this year to fund the purchase of our gorgeous new Westminster Street property. This building (pictured below) houses the agency's Drop-In Center, which works to connect survivors of abuse with safe housing, emotional counseling, and life-saving supportive services. The Sojourner House Drop-In Advocacy & Resource Center is one of the only drop-in centers for survivors in the state, making it a vital resource for our community. To support this fundraising effort, the Champlin Foundation issued us a challenge: If we can raise $250,000 towards our capital campaign by 10/31, they'll double it. This gift would go a long way in helping us reach our goal, but the deadline is tomorrow and we still have money to raise. Can you help us meet the match? Click the link below to make a donation or pledge a future gift. https://lnkd.in/eqWxY5W6 If you’ve donated already, or have shared a post about our campaign efforts, please know how grateful we are for your support; and how honored we feel that you've decided to invest in our future. #rhodeisland #ri #providence #pvd #dvam #domesticviolenceawarenessmonth
