Refresco’s Post

As we begin the Festive Season, we just wanted to share a little of how we have been giving back locally this year with a short Q&A with Tracey - Manager at the Middlesbrough Foodbank: How have you been most affected in recent times? Do you receive enough donations for demand? We are under huge demand and so far this year we have fed over 13,000 people. We don’t receive enough donations to keep us going, we have to purchase food every week. In what ways have the donations from ProSalus supported the Middlesbrough Foodbank? Your donations have helped us to buy food on a weekly basis and we are really grateful for that. What is your favourite thing about working at/for the Middlesbrough Foodbank? I like being able to help people and seeing the difference that can make. If I can stop someone from going to bed hungry then I can sleep at night, knowing I have done my best. I have a wonderful team of volunteers and I couldn’t do my job without them. What is the best small thing can people do to provide support to a Foodbank in their area? We are happy to receive long life foods, tins etc or monetary donations, everything helps, that extra tin in your shopping, a bag of cereal. Everything makes a massive difference.

Today is #GivingTuesday, a day dedicated to generosity and making a positive impact on our communities. Supporting your CANV and the NAPA Food Bank is a fantastic way to contribute. Here are some ways you can help: Monetary Donations: Financial contributions allow the Napa Food Bank to purchase the specific items we need and cover operational costs. Every dollar counts! Donate Non-Perishable Food: Consider giving canned goods, rice, pasta, and other non-perishable items. Organize a Food Drive: Rally your neighborhood, workplace, or school to collect food items. Volunteer Your Time: CANV and the Food Bank rely heavily on volunteers to sort, pack, and distribute food. Spread the Word: Use your social media platforms to raise awareness about Giving Tuesday. Share this post! Host a Fundraiser: Organize an event, like a bake sale, charity run, or online auction, with the proceeds going to CANV Shop Responsibly: When you go grocery shopping, consider purchasing a few extra items to donate to the food bank. Remember, your contributions, no matter how big or small, can make a significant difference in the lives of those facing food insecurity. Let's come together to support our neighbors throughout our community on this Giving Tuesday! #GiveBack #EndHunger #CommunityStrong #TogetherWeCan #FoodBankHeroes #communityactionofnapavalley #CANV #communityactionworks #napa #CommunityAction #napacounty #napavalley #CANVcares #givingtuesday #november28

🎈 Digital Communications Creations is celebrating another anniversary! Raritan Food Pantry (RFP) launched their website three years ago shortly after the opening of their needs-based food pantry in Raritan, NJ. The dual-language website receives an estimated 2K visitors annually and features necessary information for the pantry's volunteers and those seeking assistance in English and Spanish. Many of our community members are facing food insecurity, so it's important that those in need can easily access and understand the services available to them. RFP's non-profit funding is designated for basic operating purposes, leaving no room for any other spend. As with any business, a website has become a necessity, so it was a special opportunity for DCC to be able to donate the site's initial development and to continue to support RFP by donating the site's annual maintenance fees, totaling $1,500 over the three year period, to keep it up and running, ensuring it continues to provide necessary information to the community. DCC believes non-profit organizations are an integral part of any thriving community. Having the opportunity to support this vital organization to enhance their presence is key to achieving the DCC mission. #digitalmarketing #smallbusinessmarketing #njfoodbank #smallbusinessmarketing

We love the #Dinesmart initiative. So simple. So effective. You know something works when the people it’s aimed at give more than you asked for. An easily managed $2 per bill is often viewed as ‘not enough’ by diners, who proceed to make it $10 or $20 or $50 instead. That’s what we call “smart” comms. No demands. No awkwardness. Just plant a seed-idea and allow the results to blossom. All venues should be on board.

This week we're celebrating 40 years of Volunteers' Week! 🤩 Each and every one of our volunteers plays a massive part in what we're able to achieve every single day! Without them, we simply couldn't treat as many poorly pets as we do. From sorting through stock donations and getting them ready to be displayed on the shop floor, to helping our lovely customers find their perfect second-hand pieces, there’s always something fun to do and new skills to learn 👏 Why not give volunteering a go for yourself? http://pdsa.me/U7cA [Visual description: A series of clips of volunteers in various PDSA charity shops. The clips involve them sorting through clothes on the shop floor, sorting through donated books, arranging the shops displays and steaming clothes.] #VolunteersWeek #Volunteer #Volunteers #Volunteering #VolunteerOpportunities #Charity #CharityShop

To share or not to share....How do you share food at work? Food Forward's staff loves eating and often shares surplus food so it doesn't go uneaten!
