Because of you, thousands of kids have received lunch every school day. But with rising food costs and an increase in the need for barrier-fee food supports like ours, we are asking for your help to keep kids fed at school. Donate at https://t.co/klyjJyVaSW

#Alberta’s charitable sector is BIG. You may not realize it, but most people are touched by it each day. Even more incredible is that 1 out of 20 Albertans work within the sector, committed to supporting our most vulnerable and the wellbeing of our society! #tooessentialtofail

[Bethany Ross @bethanyaross]

@neclose @BrownBaggingIt Such a joy to share the space with you! We're grateful every day to work alongside partners at @yyCBEdu.

"Quiet quitting" isn't laziness. Doing the bare minimum is a common response to bullshit jobs, abusive bosses, and low pay.

When they don't feel cared about, people eventually stop caring.

If you want them to go the extra mile, start with meaningful work, respect, and fair pay.

When people say "it's the best thing since sliced bread", it's a pretty high bar -- people were pretty excited about sliced bread.

[Right To Food @RightToFoodCA]

🧵1/4: The latest report from @PROOFCanada is eye-opening. Almost 1 in 6 people are currently experiencing food insecurity and those numbers are expected to rise as inflation continues to squeeze family budgets.

My foster dog went missing in deep SE- Copperfield, New Brighton, McKenzie area! He’s got three legs and a distinctive hopping walk. He was adopted yesterday and got startled and ran away. Let me know if you see him- don’t approach him or call out as he is skittish and will run.

Good morning! How is your heart today? It’s okay to feel heavy and overwhelmed. You don’t have to have it all figured out. You’re exactly where you’re supposed to be❤️

We’re always looking for ways to support our communities. We’ve developed this short #survey and want to hear from you about the impact of the #pandemic on your organization. We know surveys can be boring but this one matters! Take the survey: https://t.co/AfIOVbU1Ax @IntegralOrg
