Friday Inspiration

Here's another look at how your generosity can make an impact! 

"As the school social worker for the CCSD Title I HOPE program I was delighted to be able to deliver this bed to one of our students!  This student has been in transitional housing with his mom for awhile and his biggest wish was to have his own, new bed.  His bedding set with a gaming theme was fulfilled a few weeks prior.  When I delivered this I told his mom I’m hoping to have the bed very soon too.  So when I got the notification a few weeks later that a donor had purchased the bed I immediately reached out to his mom to deliver it.  When I showed up with the bed she expressed her gratitude and said her son will be so happy to see his bed once he gets home from school!  She said to also share her joy and gratitude to the donor who was so kind and thoughtful to fulfill this request for her son.  She was smiling from ear to ear and couldn't say anything else.   Another HUGE thank you to the donor for fulfilling this request and bringing this student so much joy and comfort! "

Thank You 🛏️

There's no better way to celebrate today than meeting a need!

Today is Random Acts of Kindness Day

We believe Valentine’s Day is about more than flowers and candy (although we never turn them down 🍫!). After all, love, affection, and kindness to others is what makes life worth living.

So on this day of 💜, show some love to the struggling parents down the street who need diapers, or a local student who needs new shoes by meeting a need on our app. Be someone's Valentine today!

Be Someone's Valentine 💜

Consider this your reminder that tomorrow is Valentine's Day! Need a last-minute gift? Meet a need on behalf of the one you love.

The Perfect Valentine's Day Gift

During this month of 💜, remember to show your love to your neighbors.

Month of 💜

The new year is all about fresh starts, but not everyone has the means to begin the year with excitement and confidence. You can help change that today!

Whether you purchase new pillows so a student gets enough rest this semester, or clothes for a single mom so she feels more confident at her job, each need met is an opportunity for a fresh start. Let’s change some lives in 2023!

A Fresh Start

As you’re thinking about goals and resolutions this first month of the year, consider adding generosity to your list. We've made it simple with the goals feature.

Simply visit your profile, choose how many people you’d like to help in 2023, and check in on your progress throughout the year. We’re looking forward to spreading hope with you this year!⁠

Set Your 2023 Goal

Starting Friday morning with this note of gratitude from one of our organizers at Conroe Independent School District. Every need you meet makes a huge difference in someone’s life!

“As a Social Services Liaison for Conroe ISD, I have been working with a single mom and her four children who had to move in a shelter. The family had to leave most of their belongings behind. The children were excited to be able to get some items that they could choose and are their style. Mom was very grateful that they were happy because she has not been able to buy them what they need. 

Thanks to Purposity, we have been able to fulfill some of the needs of these families who are already heartbroken from not having a home, but also, they are struggling to have basic needs such as clothes and food. Having new things make these children feel good and put a smile on their faces thanks to Purposity.”


Thank You 👕

“Everybody can be great, because anybody can serve.”

Do Small Things

A great week starts with a hot cup of coffee ☕ and helping a neighbor on Purposity.

Happy Monday

As you’re thinking about goals and resolutions this first week of the New Year, consider adding generosity to your list. Whether you commit to volunteering, making regular donations, or doing random acts of kindness for those around you, any 2023 resolution to be more generous will make the world a better place. ⁠

“Here at CCSD Title I HOPE we are so grateful for the Purposity community and their donors that have supported our families and students who have had a very difficult few years navigating the lack of affordable, adequate and available housing.  The items that have been purchased have brought a little bit of light and hope in an often uncertain future for these families.  Thank you to all who have donated!”


Thank You 🙏
