If I were very wealthy, I'd spend all my time as a philanthropist, but I'm not. What I do have is some time and lots of experience. I share both to help out artisans in our area market their wares online. I forfeit the profit margin I would otherwise make in order to ensure they earn the most they can at a retail price point that reflects the quality of their work and is appealing to consumers. It's a win-win for the artisans and consumers and I get to give back to a part of our community that I love.
I have been talking to my church about this very topic. I want to help do repairs for those people in need in our community. I can provide the labor but want to find others that can possibly help with the material costs.
In order for us to give back to our community we promote other companies around us. We love to network with our local businesses and promote them when someone is looking for a particular service. Additionally, we join in on community charity events where possible and provide real hands-on time with the local charities to acomplish their goals. If that should be putting together food kits for needy families or cold calling for fundraising, we try to be as supportive as we can. We adopted a local park last year and we have an obligation to clean it twice a year, but we tend to clean it up more than twice and aim for at least once or twice a quarter during the non-snow months.
I offer Pet Loss & Bereavement Counseling in concert with my role as a. Grief & Bereavement with hospice in Prince George's County, Maryland. Both services are provided pro bono. This is my way of giving back by helping others who have been similarly been affected by the pain of human or animal loss.
Our church has a mission group, and we travel to help those affected by floods, tornados, and hurricanes. WE made three trips to Biloxi, MS after Katrina, three trips to Joplin after their F-5 tornado, and have made three trips to Lafayette, LA to do rebuild after their flooding. We went to Tuscaloosa, AL after their tornado, and have gone to Little Rock - another tornado. It's a fantastic, rewarding experience rebuilding and helping these people get back into their homes. Interacting with the people and seeing how overjoyed they are makes us feel a little guilty - all it costs us is a bit of time, but to these folks, our caring and efforts are everything.
We offer monthly Caregiver support meeting that is open to the public. It is the 2nd Monday of each month Next meeting at 8/13 at 2pm. Somerford Place of Annapolis 2717 Riva rd, Annapolis MD 21401. It is agreat opportunity to learn and understand Dementia and share and support others dealing with caring for their loved one.
I give back to children, elderly and animals. Schools need you the most. Elderly need services (rides, shopping and doctor appointments) I work with placing animals with homes that fit. I love the occasional (when I have the perfect cause) on fundraisers - Giving back locally is my biggest thing ❤️
As a Stylist I know that appearance directly affects a persons confidence. One of the ways I give back to my community is by showing under privileged women how to put together outfits for job interviews using clothes they may already own, thrift shop finds and through donations. By doing this, this enables the clients to have confidence and many of them have told me “If it wasn’t for you helping and building my confidence I would never have been able to get that job, or start a business, or be assertive in a meeting.”
