Special delivery to the Portland Pay It Forward Food Bank! We are #BBUPROUD to help them on their mission to reduce hunger and food insecurity in their TN community. Tune into NBC tomorrow at 2:30 p.m. EST to watch the Ally 400 NASCAR race and cheer on Ricky Stenhouse Jr.!
How do you raise 23 million meals?!
One 🥫can🥫at a time.
KING 5 Media Group partnered with the Seattle Seahawks and Northwest Harvest to harness the passion of Monday Night Football vs. the Philadelphia Eagles.
And wow.
Fans showed up with bags and backpacks and pockets full of nonperishable food. It rained… a lot… but the smiles were bright! We filled boxes again and again and again.
So, how do you do something big? Maybe impossible?
Find good partners.
Remind people of the good in them.
And say thank you. Again. And again. And again.
As King Charles approaches his 75th birthday, he's steering the spotlight away from the usual royal festivities. Instead, he's unveiling the Coronation Food Project, an initiative that seeks to significantly upscale the redistribution of surplus food in the UK. The aim? To boost the current 125 million meals, championed by FareShare, to an ambitious 200 million meals annually.
What's intriguing is that King Charles isn’t just formulating plans; he's actively engaging with industry leaders from giants like Tesco and Ocado to drive change. The bigger picture? Tackling the mounting food wastage issue that the UK grapples with.
Recent data from BRC highlights retailers' charitable streak, with an impressive £540m raised last year for worthy causes.

Rather than discussing money for the first time while the family is gathered around the TV watching football 🏈📺, approach the topic weeks ahead of time if possible. Casually mentioning that it’s on your mind will help plant the seed🌱 for a future convo with your loved ones and get them thinking about their plan (or lack of one).
For more ways to talk money with your loved ones this holiday season, see this week’s blog at this linkin my bio.

Lovely to see our incredible St Vincent's Newcastle centre featured in BBC News this week!
Due to increased demand, the centre will be expanding its low cost food and clothing market into a five days per week service!
Used by about 250 people, Vinnies' Pop-Up Market offers a range of foods as well as hygiene products, baby food, household items and clothes.
All money raised from the market goes back into providing new stock for the centre.

This month, at Porter Novelli we made history with our first-ever global Jack and Bill Week of Service. All our offices worldwide united to make a significant #impact on our communities, from painting and cooking to beach clean-ups and packing food for food banks.
These experiences empower us as a team and strengthen our commitment to social well-being and community development. Volunteering within companies is crucial because:
-Enhances Teamwork: Participating in volunteer activities improves cohesion and collaboration among colleagues.
-Promotes Social Responsibility: Companies can make a real difference in their communities by contributing to important causes and supporting local organizations.
-Develops Skills: Volunteering isn't just about giving back; it's also about personal growth. It's an opportunity for employees to develop new skills and competencies outside their usual work environment.
-Reinforces Corporate Values: Companies demonstrate their values and commitment to corporate social responsibility by engaging in volunteer activities.
I want to thank all my colleagues who participated and the organizations we partnered with for making this week a success. 🌍💪

We’re #PNProud to have recently celebrated our first ever Jack & Bill Week Of Service.
Across the globe our regional offices got out into the community to give back.
From painting and cooking to beach cleans and food bank packing, it was an empowering and important experience.
We would like to thank all our staff who participated and all the worthwhile organisations we worked with to make it such a successful week.

Fantastic to be involved on the Advisory Board allocating funds to meaningful causes within our great game.
Our game is a global sport with global reach, demonstrated by the incredible crowds and initial viewership numbers for this 2023 RWC in France. Appreciate these numbers can be flaky but an average live audience of 15m (peak 17m, as per France 2023 President) for the opening game between France & NZ is remarkable and on track to better the RWC 2019 total tournament viewership 857m & 2019 RWC Final between SA & England of 45m (World Rugby).
The global opportunity is immense for the many talented athletes our country produces. For context the NRL Grand finals attract c3m eyeballs, State of Origin c3m & AFL Grand finals c4m (rough figures but you get the point). It's easy to lose sight of this in one of the most competitive domestic sporting markets in the world.
We look forward to deploying funds within this global community for the betterment of this great game.
