The recent WHO pandemic treaty (revision) attempted to legally bind countries to global vaxx mandates. ...this was not a good idea considering that mRNA technology did not "flatten the curves" and evidently causes more problems than it can solve (at least at this time). I know people who were adversely affected by the vaxx mandate. They tried to "do the right thing". They got shots and now they are debilitated and can't work. Many who did not take the shots also lost jobs. I've seen the homeless population in the northern VA increase, e.g. tent camps similar to California. So what benefits have we derived from mandates? ...when we had a survival rate of over 97% for reported cases before the first vaxx Dec 14, 2020? If the shots were "safe and effective" then why has the PREP Act been extended to protect vaxx makers from lawsuits stemming from their drugs not being "safe or effective"? https://lnkd.in/ePKn3GDZ Why do we have legislation to protect vaxx companies but not very much in the way to help those who were coerced (by mandates) into getting vaxxed and got injured? Will the current administration address this before the 2024 election? Now that the WHO pandemic treaty has met its fate, when is the US government going to step in and "do the right thing" to help people suffering from vaxx side effects and long COVID due to "breakthrough infections" (i.e. failure cases of shots)? We need to extend the range of response strategies. We should focus on multi-pronged strategies that prevent or reduce the probability of exposure in the first place.

Join us in making a difference with Optima Living's annual Food Bank Day Challenge! This annual initiative helps build community through compassion and goes beyond donations—it's about uniting to support those in need and spread goodwill. Why is supporting food banks so vital? Across Canada, many struggle with food insecurity. Last year, we donated over 20,000 pounds (about 9300 kg) of food, providing 24,650 meals. This year, we're aiming even higher—30,000 pounds (about 13,600 kg)! Every can and dollar counts, directly helping those in need. Participating means bolstering local economies and strengthening community bonds. From now until September 6th, our Alberta and BC residences will compete to gather the most donations, adding a fun and spirited element to our efforts. Get involved by donating non-perishable food items or a monetary amount at your nearest Optima Living residence. https://lnkd.in/gJYi6NEZ Every contribution, big or small, makes a difference. Together, let's exceed our goals, inspire hope, and create lasting change. Show what the #OptimaWay is all about—compassion, community, and making a positive impact. #OptimaLiving #FoodBankChallenge #CommunitySupport #GivingBack

In a world where hunger touches millions, the fight against it isn't just an NGO's burden—it's a shared responsibility for us all. Collective effort is key if we seek to eradicate hunger. Curbing food waste, aiding NGOs and local food banks aren't mere acts of charity—they're vital in the hunger-solving jigsaw. Every action, no matter its size, holds weight in the collective fight against hunger. United, we wield the power to make a change. • • • • Click the link below to help raise funds for our upcoming event, aimed at feeding 1000 families this December👇👇 https://gofund.me/fd6dae00 • • • • #support #society #helpinghand #ngo #nongovernmentalorganization #gofundme #nonprofitorganization #initiatives #fundsrising #thanksgiving #fooddrive #feedafamily #hungereradication #foodaid #lessprivileged #linkedin #thekendeycharityfoundation

Has the rising cost of living stopped you donating to charity? A few weeks ago I spoke to BBC Look East about the cost of living crisis and the fact that foodbanks like ours are receiving fewer donations, while trying to meet the growing need for emergency and subsidised food. In Cambridge we expect to feed around 5000 people this winter. That's only possible because of donations from the public. But the rising cost of essentials is impacting almost everyone's spending, so it's no wonder that people are less able to donate food to us than last year. Whilst we are so grateful for all donations, it's not right that the public's generosity is the only way to meet the basic needs of people going without the essentials. We urgently need a government guarantee that the basic social security rate is enough to afford the essentials like food and heating. Sign the petition calling on UK party leaders to back an Essentials Guarantee, so that fewer people have to rely on a foodbank to survive: https://lnkd.in/e2Be4NeA

There are many crisis in the world - we hear about these every day. One in particular is effecting us all. Due to still high interest rates, and energy bills and rent rising throughout the country we hear about people struggling everyday trying to make a decision whether they should have electricity/gas in their home or food on the table. We hear about more and more people approaching foodbanks even families who never needed to do this in the past.

The cost-of-living crisis continues to impact those in the UK and has forced many charities to close their doors at a time when they are needed most. We work with community-led organisations supporting those most affected by the crisis, many who are struggling to keep up with increasing service demand. Nicola Hill, Head of Impact at The Bike Project: “In the UK, the cost-of-living crisis has been compounded by the hostile environment for refugees and people seeking asylum. As a result, more and more people are facing hardship and destitution and turning to us for support. As a charity we too are not immune from rising costs. However, with more support we can ensure that more refugees and people seeking asylum will discover the full benefits of cycling - the first step towards building a new life in the UK.” By donating to our Cost-Of-Living Crisis Relief Fund you can help people in need access services to help them through this difficult time. The Bike Project is one of many fantastic charities making a difference to lives across the UK.
