🌟 Embracing December: A Season of Appreciation and Giving 🌟
As December unfolds, let's take a moment to reflect on the true meaning of appreciation for the people in our lives, both the good and the challenging. This month, let's celebrate the spirit of gratitude and the power of giving back to others.
Appreciation goes beyond simply acknowledging the positive aspects of our lives. It's about recognizing the value that each person brings, even in the face of difficulties. Whether it's the unwavering support of loved ones or the lessons learned from challenging encounters, every individual and experience shapes our journey in unique ways.
In a world where kindness and empathy can sometimes feel scarce, it's important to cultivate a spirit of appreciation. By acknowledging the inherent worth of every person, regardless of their impact on us, we foster a culture of understanding and compassion.
Moreover, December serves as a poignant reminder of the significance of giving back. As we immerse ourselves in the festivities of the season, let's remember those who may be less fortunate. Small acts of kindness, whether through volunteering, donating, or simply offering a listening ear, can make an immense difference in the lives of others.
This month, let's strive to embody the true essence of appreciation and giving. Together, let's create a ripple of positivity and generosity that extends far beyond the holiday season.

REMOTE/VIRUTAL VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES WITH OUR NONPROFIT: I am the founder and executive director of Beyond the Crisis. This is a charitable non-profit organization that donates non-perishable food items to housing communities and homeless shelters in Massachusetts. This organization was started by two brothers, who wanted to make a difference in their community and mitigate the food hunger that children and families are facing more than ever due to the pandemic. We work directly with the Catholic Charities. We are currently seeking volunteers to help out with our nonprofit’s operations. Almost all of our volunteers can work virtually from home. #volunteer #foodpantry #foodbank #nonprofit #charity #philanthropy #giveback.

Coca-Cola and Family Dollar Stores teamed up and started a [Make Every Sip Count] (https://us.coca-cola.com/makeeverysipcount/) project. When you visit your local Family Dollar store and buy a Coca-Cola product 15% of the purchase price is donated to the [Boys & Girls Clubs] (https://www.bgca.org/about-us/our-mission-story) which help children in need. I truly love when companies give back by supporting such great organizations.
For me, my favorite part of working for UPS is that we give back to the people and communities we serve. UPS this past year helped send 263 relief shipments across 43 countries during hard times. A bunch of us even planted some trees on Earth Day last year. I just like the fact that they care. It says a lot and makes me proud to work for them.
When I was fourteen I remember that teenage longing for my own money. The kind that you didn’t need to borrow from your cousin, or have to ask your parents for. It was just yours because you had earned it. There was no online job seeking when I was an early teen because well, there was no internet, so I went door to door raking my neighbor’s lawns for a small fee. It’s hard to imagine those days now, but they did exist and the world of job seeking has changed so rapidly and continues to do so every day.
I was fortunate yesterday to have the opportunity to partner with the Red Sox Foundation where a few of my co-workers and I were able to assist their teenage scholar program participants. We helped many teens write their first resumes, edit existing ones, and reviewed job-seeking tips together. We even helped them pinpoint some ideas of what exactly they want to do in their future careers.
It’s surprising to see teens as young as fourteen with resumes, as I did not have one until I was in college and immersed in the “real world,” but yet here they are ready to face it head-on at such a young age. I was thrilled to be there yesterday giving back and offering advice to those about to begin their journies. To see so much passion, tenacity, and drive in their eyes makes me hopeful for the future.
