Today I Am Grateful

Another day, another example example of this community's generosity! 🙌⁠

A note from My Friend's House:

We have lots of new summer activities, rocking chairs, clothes, household needs, etc all provided through generous members of our community!!! We are SO appreciative!⁠

Happy Father's Day⁠
To all the dads.⁠
The not yet dads.⁠
The stepdads.⁠
The moms who are dad. ⁠
The adoptive dads.⁠
The grandads.⁠
And the dads who are no longer with us.

We get a lot of questions from our community. One we often hear is, “How much of my donation goes to meeting the need?” ⁠
⁠
The answer is 100%. Yep, it’s true! When you meet a need on the Purposity app, all your money goes to meeting that need. This means your impact is the most it can be. Plus, you know how every single bit of your donation is being used - directly impacting exactly when and how you choose. ⁠

How Your Donation is Used

Monday Morning Reminder

School’s out for summer ☀️, and we still can’t believe how much good the Purposity community achieved during the 2021-2022 school year 🎒. Here’s a look at one of our favorite moments: a mom at Birmingham Falls Elementary in Fulton County Schools mobilized nearly $6,000 in support to make sure all unmet holiday wishes were fulfilled!

An Amazing 2021-2022 School Year

As another school year comes to a close, another class of high school seniors 🎓 is preparing to leave home and head to college. But not everyone can afford dorm room essentials. Visit the app today and meet a need for a graduate in your neighborhood. 

Class of 2022 🎓

Thanks to one generous Purposity donor, a family in Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools received a number of needed clothing items for the summer months. Their story is below: 

We have a family of eight who had recently been evicted from their apartment. Mom attempted to do all of the right things to prevent eviction, but it was unsuccessful. Our students were staying with various relatives until moving into a hotel. Between the eviction and the move, they were not able to keep much of anything. One of students was wearing shoes way too big and the other sibling’s shoes were starting to fall apart. Your donation has allowed mom to be able to save the money that she otherwise would have spent making sure her children had what they need. Because of kind hearts like yours, mom has saved enough money and the family will move into their new apartment in two weeks. The students came to my office to get their new items and their smiles absolutely filled my heart. Although, I am not able to take pictures of the students, they did want me to share a token of their appreciation with you.


Thank You 🙏

Just a reminder to get out there and start helping people. ⁠

Spring is a time for renewal. And what is more renewing than giving back to others? Here are 5 ways you can give back this season:

1. Pick up litter at a park.
2. Walk dogs at a local animal shelter.
3. Mow the lawn for an elderly neighbor.
4. Donate unwanted items after spring cleaning your home.
5. Provide spring clothing for a child in need on the Purposity app.

5 Ways to Give Back This Spring

The Easter feeling does not end, it signals the beginning of a new life. It signals hope. Today, on Easter Monday, consider giving a little extra hope to someone by meeting a need in our app. Whether it’s providing dinnerware for a family that is starting over in a new home, or purchasing t-shirts that a child can wear in upcoming warmer weather, a little bit of hope can go a long way.

Easter Monday

We should all aspire to leave this world a bit better. This weekend, do something kind for a neighbor. Buy a cup of coffee for the person in line behind you; ask a friend how they’re doing; or meet a need for someone on the Purposity app. No deed is too small.
