Giving today for a better tomorrow
Giving in our community, helps give back to our neighbors, friends, families and beyond. Here are just a few ways in which you can help!
The Soup Kitchen of Muncie - Signature Rose gives monthly (This helps them budget better and stay focused on the daily tasks needed to support the community). 10% of all gift card sales goes directly to help those served by them. The Soup Kitchen of Muncie serves the hungry 5 days a week and has been serving Muncie since 1994.
Muncie Arf - Supporting the Muncie Arf through the Runway for Rescues has been a pleasure. ARF provides food, shelter, medical care and placement to animals who aren’t able to be taken care of. During their stay they offer them the love, stability and consistency they need while helping them to find proper placement and a good life. They even house animals as permanent residents who otherwise would not be able to be placed. They have a Thrift Store for those looking for gently used items and offer discount food and other resources to those in our community experiencing a hard time.
Delta Baseball - Delta Little League is the flagship youth program for Delta Baseball. Founded in 1967, Delta Little League has been on Royerton School grounds since that time. They are a 100% volunteer-run organization dedicated to improving the lives of young athletes through sport, teamwork, and hard work.
Youth Opportunity Center - I was asked to be a board member for the YOC Foundation Board in 2016 and to learn more about the YOC and their mission.
Mission - Youth Opportunity Center (yocinc.org)
I believe in their missional purpose and believe it gives youth an opportunity to grow skills that they can apply to the everyday world in order to help them succeed.
In 2017, I was asked to be a speaker at the Youth Explosion, and since then have offered my time to sit with kids who have a love for the arts and offer a Q&A and to chat with them about their dreams. I let them all know with drive, support and direction; they can achieve them. I believe this is an act of paying it forward to young artists who are in the pursuit of achieving their dreams.
There are certainly many more ways to add value to your community and help! Where can you help/give?
