Last month I kicked off a monthly series where I’d share an important cause to me personally and resources to support it (if you wanted to). This month I’m going to discuss poverty and homelessness in my childhood city of Fresno, CA. Fresno is California’s 5th largest city and the home to most of the countries agricultural economy…yet, it’s one of the most impoverished places in the USA. It has a rich culture and very diverse population with only 25% being non-hispanic white, and the other 75% split up between a melting pot of ethnicities from Mexican to Hmong to Black and more! One of my favorite things about growing up in the Central Valley was being immersed in so many different cultures and experiences daily. But sadly, 23% of Fresno’s residents are considered to live in poverty, according to the USA’s federal definition of being a family of 4 making less than $26k/yr. This rate of poverty is almost double the national average and 1.5x the rest of California. Since 2022, homelessness in the area has increased by 7%. It’s getting bad. So with that - I recommend donating or volunteering for Poverello House! They are an emergency shelter for homeless in Fresno CA and also offer other resources like job assistance, food services and more. With a growing population of those in need, they will definitely benefit from additional support.

The start of our new temperate rainforest in the hyper-oceanic climate zone at the heart of Exmoor and part of an extensive nature based solution to slow the progress of water into the River Barle.
Thank you to everyone who came along to help plant trees for Kings Wood. Despite physical challenges working on a steep slope, everyone dug in and we planted 1000 trees – including oak and birch. To see progress so far - walk the lovely footpath from Simonsbath to Cow Castle. #volunteering #naturerecovery

🌞🚚 Sunday Vinnies Soup Van Run Update 🚚🌞 Braving Melbourne's scorching summer heat, our Inner City Vinnies Soup Van team embarked on the usual Sunday run yesterday. It was a tough one, I'd have to say. The demand for food hampers was exceptionally high, leaving us without supply for our last two stops – a stark reminder of the pressing need in our community. I had never seen that before. Have you thought about it? For many of us, summer and the heat bring unique challenges and some additional ones for people experiencing homelessness: How do you store your medication in extreme heat? I was reminded of that when seeing someone with prescribed medications next to them yesterday.☀ Where do you seek refuge when temperatures soar above 35 degrees and it’s hot even in the shade? Our dedicated volunteers hit the streets daily, seeing the challenges and providing crucial support as best as possible, because, well, homelessness doesn't take a heat break. To combat heat and dehydration, we distributed special summer hampers with essentials like sunscreen, deodorant, insect repellent, caps, and extra water bottles. Socks, a year-round necessity, were also in high demand. We never seem to have enough, regardless of the seasons. I am truly privileged and humbled to be part of this impactful movement - to work with Vinnies Vic, as St Vincent de Paul Society Victoria is lovingly called, but also to be a volunteer, and I really admire those who have been so much longer than myself: During the day or the week, they juggle roles as civil engineers, school principals, electricians, carpenters. They work on international ad campaigns; they are students, mums, dads, sons, and daughters, all trying to make someone else's life who needs support just that little bit better. If you feel inspired to contribute, here's a link https://lnkd.in/gfghfdiv. It's worth it. 🤝❤️ #Volunteering #socialimpact #givingback #homelessness #donateforchange #changemakers
