How Do I Give Back?
How do I give back? There are many different ways that you can impact the community around you. Whether you give your money or time, both are tools that can quite literally make a world of difference. Thanksgiving is next week and there is no better way to be thankful than by offering a local charity an extra pair of hands. With that being said, we, team of a Los Angeles vacation rental company compiled the following list of Los Angeles nonprofits that are in need of help:
Gobble Gobble Give Gobble Gobble Give delivers food, clothing and toiletries to the homeless in eighteen cities across the country on Thanksgiving morning. We’ve been doing it for 22 years, feeding more people in more cities every year. Sign up here.
Union Rescue Mission This organization offers more than just meals and shelter–they provide hurting souls with a variety of programs to serve the whole person in mind, body, and spirit. They serve with humility, and treat every person with dignity and respect. For Thanksgiving, for each gift you give it will go TWICE as far through the $500,000 Matching Grant! Click here to donate.
Meals on Wheels - This established organization brings nutritious meals to seniors who are at risk for hunger throughout the year, but they ramp up efforts around the holidays. You can find volunteer opportunities near you here.
PATH - Across the state, they help people find permanent housing and provide case management, medical and mental healthcare, benefits advocacy, employment training, and other services to help them maintain their homes stably. Click here to sign up to volunteer!
Giving back doesn’t have to be locally! Stay Wildflower has been partnering with Kiva for several years. A certain amount of money is lended to individuals around the world. This loan helps their livelihood and family. On Giving Tuesday our team will be giving out 4 Kiva cards each $25/value. You will automatically be entered in the draw if you volunteer/donate for a local nonprofit, take a picture, post and tag @staywildflowerla (or send it directly to our team at hello@staywildflower.com). Or the day before Giving Tuesday, we will be doing a Thanksgiving/Kiva trivia. For those who answer most of the questions correctly, they will receive a card.
Ultimately we want to see how you give back in the Month of Giving! Join us in the mission.
