A metaphor of redemption has been put on display in the following news story. A valuable treasure, noticed and plucked out of a bin of discarded donations, was brought into the light where all people can see and affirm its worth. Today the story is about rare sneakers, but every day of the year, the story is infinitively more remarkable – it’s about seeing and affirming the value of every life we serve. https://lnkd.in/gz-EjUhj

Something to think about

Community impact? The primary impact of this firms business model increases homelessness (currently at 10K+ homeless people on any given night) by gentrifying neighborhoods and forcing people who make less money out. "Global day for people and planet" yet the firm musters up 2 small bins of mostly dog and cat food...this doesn't even align. How about taking on projects that actually help to reduce the number of homeless people in the city instead of ones that are for the affluent population and for corporations to profit from. I hope other architecture studios in Toronto can learn from these fake displays of positive community impact. Many studios like this promote themselves as doing good but really at a foundational socio-economic level, they drive some of the biggest problems in the city. #thinkcritically #communityimpact #torontohomeless

In 18 years of competing in the 'Hood Bowl' fantasy football league, I've learned that success isn't measured by personal achievements but by the impact we make. Transforming winnings into donations for causes and communities reinforces the true essence of leadership: service.

The cleanup and tear-down operations of the NFL Draft has delivered unexpected benefits to local nonprofits. Materials such as carpeting, wood, and the very stairs that NFL hopefuls ascended as their names were called are finding a second life. DETROIT DOG RESCUE is at the forefront of this initiative, cleverly repurposing these elements to build a new spay and neuter clinic on Detroit's east side. The new clinic will provide essential services such as free spaying and neutering to help manage and support the local dog population. Beyond the direct benefits to DDR, this effort is setting a precedent for sustainability and community support. The materials salvaged from the NFL Draft are also being distributed to other nonprofits in the area, helping them enhance their facilities and expand their services. The repurposing of NFL Draft materials shows how the legacy of such events can continue to support and enrich the local community long after the crowds have gone home.
