We are thrilled to announce that Washington Trust Bank has donated $5,000 to SEATTLE NATIVITY SCHOOL to fund scholarships for families living below the poverty line. Seattle Nativity School is a Catholic, Jesuit-endorsed STEM middle school committed to breaking the cycle of poverty through education that nourishes souls and ignites leaders for love and service. A Seattle Nativity School 8th grader and council leader, who will be attending Seattle Preparatory School this fall, provided John Borland and Eleanor Rasmussen a brief tour before they met with Fr. McDougall, President. “We are grateful for such a generous gift from Washington Trust Bank and the opportunities they have provided to learn more about Community Reinvestment Act grants. Thank you for welcoming Seattle Nativity School into the Washington Trust community!” – Judy Shafer, Director of Development, Seattle Nativity School. #CommunityImpact #SeattleNativitySchool #STEMEducation

Day One of the Junior League Little Black Dress Initiative for poverty awareness.🏴 Here are some of the hard truths for Montgomery County: ✖️ 75,000 residents are considered food insecure. ✖️ 55,000 of those people live below the poverty line. ($30,000 for a family of four.) ✖️The largest demographic of the food insecure are women and children. *For those in my LinkedIn network who aren’t from this area. Montgomery County is the county above Houston (Harris County).* Choosing what to wear to work and what items we’d like to eat for breakfast is a luxury we take for granted. ‼️ For the next week, I will be wearing the same black dress to put myself into the shoes of those who don’t have the option to wear something different every day. Last year, the Junior League of The Woodlands raised $66,000 of funds to be exclusively used in poverty programs surrounding Montgomery County.💪 This year we are looking to raise more. If you feel drawn to donate, any amount is encouraged: https://lnkd.in/gGuMFB75 — Still curious about where your donations go? Today’s highlight is: Keys to Learning, one of MANY Junior League of The Woodlands initiatives, distributed over 464 books at their annual Literacy Carnival in 2023. A small $20 donation puts ✋ books in the hands of local elementary children. #womenbuildingbettercommunities #lbd #onedress

🌟 Let's Break the Cycle of Poverty Together! 🌟 It's time we recognize that it's each one of our responsibilities to help underprivileged children break free from the cycle of poverty. Every child deserves a fair chance at a bright future, regardless of their background or circumstances. I firmly believe that by coming together and collaborating, we can make a significant impact on the lives of these children. One of the most powerful ways we can do this is by taking on roles as mentors and educators. By sharing our knowledge, skills, and experiences, we can empower these children to reach their full potential and pave the way for a better tomorrow. I encourage each and every one of you to consider how you can contribute to this important cause. Whether it's volunteering your time to teach, donating resources to support educational initiatives, or simply spreading awareness, every action counts. Let's join forces and make a difference in the lives of underprivileged children. Together, we can break barriers and build a brighter future for generations to come.

#Tulsa #Tuesday #NonProfit #Spotlight 🏡In the comfort of our homes, it's easy to overlook a hard truth that stares back at us from the streets of our beloved Tulsa. As recently reported by Tulsa World Magazine, an alarming number of 1,133 of our fellow Tulsans faced the harsh reality of homelessness in 2022. And the challenge is growing, with Oklahoma's unsheltered homeless population rising by 15% over the past decade, according to the National Alliance to End Homelessness. This isn’t just a statistic—it's a wake-up call. It's about real people, with hopes and dreams, who are part of our community. 🌟 Against this backdrop, Green Country Habitat for Humanity has emerged as a beacon of hope, steadfastly serving families in the Tulsa area since 1988. With the support of compassionate individuals like you, through home sponsorships, donations, and hands-on volunteer work, Habitat for Humanity crafts not just houses but HOMES—safe, quality, beautiful places where memories are made and futures are built. 🛠️🏡 Now, we turn to you, our incredible Tulsa community—will you join us in this mission? Imagine the joy, imagine the relief of a family moving into a home they can call their own—for the very first time. You can be part of that transformative moment. 👉 Here’s how you can help right now: - Volunteer your time and skills on build projects. - Make a financial contribution, big or small, every bit helps. - Share this message and spread the word. Together, we're not just helping build houses—we're rebuilding lives. 📲 Visit their website, https://lnkd.in/g_5TXm78 , to learn more and get involved. Let's show the world what the heart of Tulsa is made of! 💕 #GreenCountryHabitat #TulsaStrong #EndHomelessness #CommunitySupport #BuildingHomesBuildingHope #TulsaCares #BuildHope #EndHomelessness
