As part of our commitment to community benefit, Saint Luke's Population Health recently donated funds to Center of Grace to renovate their outdoor space. Last week, the new space officially opened to the public! Center of Grace's mission is to offer a hospitality space in Olathe with programs for health care, education, growth, and more. It also shares a campus with the Olathe Boys & Girls Club. The community benefit funds were used to create activity stations for sports, exercise, and social gathering areas. We hope families will have a fun summer at the new playground. ⛹️ 🤸 🥅

Dang, community - you knock our socks off! Olympic Angels volunteer send monthly reports letting us know about purchases made to support the families and youth they are matched with. Support is tailored to meet specific needs: 🚙 if a child wants to go to a summer camp - not only will they help pay for the camp, they'll give rides to make life easier for the caregiver 🛏️ if a caregiver suddenly takes in kids they weren't prepared for, volunteers have helped purchase beds - and then actually put them together Every report is different and unique - but the one factor that is always consistent is their commitment and generosity. 🤩 That $25,077 is the amount so far that was reported by volunteers going straight to families and youth in foster care community, never passing through Olympic Angels. Neighbors helping neighbors. $143,932 is the in-kind value that includes volunteer hours, miles driven by volunteers, and tangible donations from local businesses that directly benefit the foster care community.

"What difference does it make to someone’s life if they are able to get out into their local park? Here’s Colin’s story. Colin first got involved with Your Park as part of a project to assess and improve the accessibility of our parks from first-hand accounts. During his time with us, his dedication and insight into the challenges faced by Disabled park users led Colin to lead the access assessment of Hartcliffe Millennium Green. The group discovered significant barriers that prevent full use of parks, even at the front gate. Heavy entrance gates that are hard to open, a lack of accessible parking and toilets, and inadequate pathways and facilities, are all challenges a non-Disabled person might never consider. But it is crucial that everybody does. 🗣️ Colin shares: “Your Park has been working hard to highlight the fact that minorities suffer from unequal access to parks and green spaces - this includes Disabled people, women and girls, people from ethnic backgrounds as well as those from poorer backgrounds. This is an issue that often goes unhighlighted within society but one, I feel, is vital. Research shows that being able to access a park or green space improves people's health both mentally and physically. In addition, Your Park is putting co-production with the local community and lived experiences at the core of its project delivery. This is important because it means the communities and people who will be using the parks and green spaces can have their voices front and centre.” Help us reach more people by donating today. Plus, if you donate through our @Crowdfunder, your gift will be doubled.

Our kids would love to go to school camp again this year and we are hoping to get every child to camp who wishes to attend. So if you would like to support our tamariki and wish to donate directly towards our camp please let me know or use our bank details to make a koha: Wesley Primary School ASB 12-3109-0011794-00 Ref camp2023 and your name - please do flick me an email for a receipt of your donation via [email protected] if you need. 😀 Many thanks in advance for your support Lou - Principal of Wesley Primary School

The Junior League of Washington’s (JLW) Little Black Dress Initiative (LBDI) shines a light on homelessness and housing insecurity in the DMV while raising funds to support JLW’s Community Assistance Grants. Stable housing builds stable communities. The greater Washington, DC area consistently ranks as one of the highest costs of living in the country, primarily due to high housing costs; this is especially true for residents of color. On any given day, roughly 30% of families are concerned about paying their rent – and when families must spend significantly more than 30% of their income on housing, budgets become pinched and lives become unstable. For five days, JLW members will wear the same black outfit to raise awareness of homelessness and housing insecurity in our community, while raising funds to support the JLW’s Community Assistance Grants, which awards grants of up to $5,000 to DC-area nonprofits for their community support programs Any and all donations to LBDI make a difference in our community. Help us achieve our goal of raising $40,000, or 8 CAF grants, through this week-long campaign November 13 - 17! https://lnkd.in/eUY3Cp8Z
