Integrity Urgent Care-TX’s Post

As the winter chill approaches, countless vulnerable individuals face the harsh reality of surviving in freezing conditions. CARE Beyond Borders (CBB) launches its Winter Appeal, aiming to spread warmth and hope across communities in need. With a heartfelt commitment to making a difference, CBB’s Winter Appeal strives to provide essential winter necessities to the less fortunate. We believe that every person deserves to experience the season with dignity, comfort, and security. As temperatures plummet, many families and individuals find themselves struggling to cope with the biting cold. The homeless, refugees, and underprivileged children are especially vulnerable, lacking access to proper clothing, blankets, and heating facilities. With your generous support, we intend to make a significant impact in this winter season. Your donation will enable us to: - Provide warm clothing and blankets to those without shelter. - Distribute essential heating equipment and fuel to keep families warm.  - Offer hot meals and nourishment to those in need. - Extend a helping hand to underprivileged children, ensuring they stay warm and healthy. This winter, you can be the beacon of hope for those who need it most. Your contribution, no matter the size, will bring warmth and comfort to those facing the cold and uncertainty of winter. Together, we can make this season a little brighter for those in need, and your support will ensure that no one has to face the bitter cold alone. https://lnkd.in/ecBFDXdw

As the snow falls outside, let's take a moment to reflect on the stark reality faced by those experiencing homelessness during this winter storm. For many, preparing for a snowstorm means securing shelter, warmth, and provisions. But for those without homes, it's a chilling struggle for survival against the elements. Each snowflake serves as a reminder of the biting cold and the constant battle for warmth. The latest statistics show that the homeless rate is expected to rise for the third year in a row. Despite efforts, the number of individuals facing homelessness continues to increase, exacerbated by the ongoing effects of the pandemic and rising living costs. As you cozy up indoors, consider the impact you can make in the lives of those less fortunate. Your donations can provide vital support to our Homeless Outreach Team, enabling them to connect vulnerable individuals with essential resources, offering shelter, compassion, and dignity.

The Salvation Army in Johnson City, Tennessee is another homeless resource that is certainly not "Doing the Most Good" for the homeless despite concerns raised consistently, including: - Running out of "snack bags" aka P & J "meals (minus the Nutrigrain bars most recently left out of these sparse snack / meals. - No hand warmers at all during the weekends and holidays as they are "locked up" in the Day Center (closed on weekends and holidays as previously noted). - Restricting access to the Park on the property and enforcing "no camping" citation. - "White Flag" (below avg. temps nightly shelter) consists of 11:00 p.m. no exist / no smoking and 6:00 a m. wake-up and exist the premises by 6:15 a.m. FYI: No "White Flag " tonight at the Johnson City, TN Salvation Army: Rain showers this evening with mostly cloudy conditions overnight. Low 28F. Winds SW at 15 to 25 mph. Chance of rain 50%. Winds could occasionally gust over 40 mph. - The Weather Channel. Those are the main and most bothersome concerns I have only because they are consistent and /or are not in the "Doing the Most Good" ; ) As person that has experienced homelessness as a child, teenager and also as an adult, the residents and private / non-profit organizations are not the most sensitive citizens / businesses I have encountered (i.e., not being very a hospitable or charitable environment for the homeless or indignant.) Time to make some serious improvements in our humanitarian efforts here!!

Help in any way that you can.

🌍 **Help Us Feed the Future: Support The Scarlet Ibis Foundation in St. Maarten!** 🌍 In 2017, Hurricane Irma devastated St. Maarten, leaving our island in ruins and citizens waiting for weeks for external aid. The aftermath was a stark reminder of our vulnerability and the urgent need for a robust support system. As if that wasn't enough, the COVID-19 pandemic further exacerbated the situation. Many low-income families lost their jobs, struggling to provide even three meals a day for their children. Witnessing these hardships, we realized it was time to take action. That’s why we founded **The Scarlet Ibis Foundation** – a beacon of hope in these challenging times. Our mission is clear: to ensure that no child in St. Maarten goes hungry, and every student receives the nourishment they need to succeed in school. **Our Immediate Needs:** - **Website Development:** To create an online presence and facilitate global engagement. - **Startup Donations:** To kickstart our feeding program and reach as many children as possible. - **Donation Platform:** To make it easy for supporters worldwide to contribute. - **Operational Costs:** To sustain and expand our initiatives. **How You Can Help:** 1. **Donate:** Your contributions, no matter how small, are crucial for our startup and ongoing efforts. 2. **Partner:** We're looking for collaborators who share our vision of a hunger-free St. Maarten. 3. **Spread the Word:** Help us amplify our message by sharing this post with your network.

It's one of our favorite times of year - time to pack up our Thanksgiving Meals for families in need! So far this year, we have *doubled* the number of families we have been able to support this holiday season since last year. That incredible milestone is in HUGE part thanks to our incredible team, our volunteers, our clients, and all who support Flourish. Today our team began packing up dozens of Thanksgiving Meals, and then worked on delivering a number of them to the families of Title 1 school children in the metro area. We are deeply honored to have this opportunity and ability to walk alongside these individuals and families who are experiencing food insecurity to uplift them and allow them the joy of enjoying an abundant Thanksgiving. Some of our beneficiaries have been victims of horrific tragedy, unexpected job loss, or major illness - some are hardworking dual income households who simply are struggling to make ends meet right now, and some are single parents supporting families on a single paycheck in a difficult economy. The thing that each of our beneficiaries this year have in common is that they are all incredibly resilient humans who we are privileged to call neighbors. Whatever their story, Flourish is deeply honored to be a small part of it this Thanksgiving. If you would still like to contribute and help us expand our reach even further as we combat the affordable housing crisis, food insecurity and homelessness - please consider making a donation here:  https://lnkd.in/ghWYS7m2 #poweredbyflourish #flourishalliance #holtmanhomes #atxsellsgroup #umphressgroup #rooresidential #thanksgivingmeals #thanksgivingdonation #feedingthechildren #nohungrychild #flourish #austin #denver #fortcollins #coloradosprings #castlerock #boulder #uplift #bethechange #donate #501c3
