Heartland Family Service is thankful for the support of Sam's Club-Council Bluffs. This kind donation was made with us in mind. We received coolers and insulated bags for our Outreach service. This will certainly benefit a lot of people.

Reminder: tomorrow is Giving Tuesday - Double Your Donation!
As you make final plans for your Giving Tuesday charitable donations, consider including Y.O.U! By making a donation to Y.O.U. tomorrow, you will be doubling your donation! In memory of their son Sam, Paula Jacobi and Todd Wiener are making a $1,000 Giving Tuesday donation and to encourage others to help Y.O.U. now, they are matching the next $5,000 we raise on Giving Tuesday! Your $10 becomes $20, $100 becomes $200 - you get the idea- YOU get to double your impact.
🌟 Exciting News: Supporting Our Veterans 🌟
We are proud to announce our recent collaboration with Team #6 of Leadership Green Bay in their remarkable initiative alongside Veterans 1st of Northeast Wisconsin. Together, we are dedicated to making a significant difference in the lives of veterans facing housing insecurity in our community.
🏡 The Vision: Creating a supportive community for our veterans, the project envisions the construction of 21 cottage homes and a Community Center. This initiative is not just about providing shelter but also about fostering a sense of belonging and support among those who served our country.
🛠 Our Contribution: To aid in the realization of this noble cause, our focus has been on fundraising efforts to construct a carriage house. This essential structure will serve as a central storage facility for tools and materials during the construction phase and later transition to a maintenance and storage hub for the residents and the community.
🤝 Why It Matters: By supporting this project, we're not only contributing to the physical structure of a community but also reinforcing the foundation of support and gratitude for our veterans. It's our way of giving back to those who have given so much.
We invite our network to join us in this endeavor, whether through contributions, sharing this message, or volunteering. Together, we can make a substantial impact on the lives of veterans in need.

Inclusivity. It's a non-negotiable when upholding ethical planning standards (that goes for any people-oriented activity, really). A community should have full representation when it comes to decision-making, and that includes all kinds of bodies, cultures, and gender.
There's a documented spectrum of engagement practices in local government (the IAP2 spectrum, for example). In a profession that is trending more diverse and inclusive, prevailing wisdom suggests the more we collaborate and defer to empowering the full breadth of people, the more beloved our community designs and programs become.
For bike transportation, we observe men are far overrepresented in *who* takes the risk of pedaling alongside car traffic (picture the typical bike lane). Men on solo trips, commute trips, on man-vs-elements trips. Women who make up at least half of our population and make many essential trips that benefit our society often report barriers that men may not. To tilt the scales back in favor of women who are interested/determined to travel on a bike, it's important to collaborate with, and sometimes defer to, women like Allison. I'm so excited to hear about Allison's lessons in developing her ever-deeper knowledge of bikeway design and experiences of her own as a person navigating our landscape by bike. 🚲

This year I had the incredible honor of being featured by Piece of the Pi, a charity supporting women in STEM founded by my incredible friend Ainsley Ramsey. Today is the final day of her fundraiser when she will be reciting over 1k digits of pi from memory. If you haven't yet, please consider donating to her cause!

We often underestimate the impact that underwear has on the impoverished within our society.
This is worse especially in our part of the world where underwear is considered a non necessity, yet it's one source of dignity for human beings especially girls & women.
Imagine those imprisoned women who have to share one panty during their periods because the prison facility doesn't give them freely yet some of those incarcerated do not receive guests for years?
Even worse, picture a girl in rural Kenya who misses school during her menses because she cannot afford a panty or sanitary towels.
As you consider giving during this holiday season, let your social responsibility not only focus on food & toiletries.
Give these girls & women ( even men) underwear & restore their joy, dignity & make their holiday season equally special.
Happy holidays!🎁🎀
🤩 During the next 12 days, we'll share 12 inspiring stories about the individuals who receive the donated underwear.
🎗️ To give back this season of giving, please consider donating to our cause. A $15 donation can get a pack of underwear for an individual, but $60 can help provide a family of 4 with underwear for the week.
