Fighting Homelessness in Louisiana & Texas

There are an estimated 30,000 people or families in the Texas area experiencing 

some form of homelessness or being hungry on any given night.

Why is giving food to the homeless is important? Poor nourishment directly affects physical, mental, and emotional health health that can lead to further health concerns, and even death. Addressing hunger is very important, we will always encourage  volunteers who feel compelled to help their neighbors in need and we will always accept donations from those with a giving heart. All of your sponsorships and donations work hard to ensure that we can uplift and help the community as much as we can.

We offer food and clothing assistance for those in need.

Mentorship can provide numerous benefits for mentors and their mentees. Developing this relationship can help both of you learn new things, build your networks and grow as professionals. Understanding these benefits can help you decide whether to find a mentor or become one. In this article, we discuss why a mentor is important, along with several reasons to become a mentor.

Mentors maintain accountability A mentor helps hold their mentee accountable for their goals. By tracking progress, the mentor helps the mentee stay focused and on track towards completing them. It can also ensure that the mentee does not forget about the goals they have set. Knowing that someone else is watching can serve as motivation, as the mentee likely does not want to let the mentor down by failing to meet goals. 

 Mentors offer encouragement When the mentee finds themselves struggling to perform their job or reach a goal, they can turn to their mentor for support. This encouragement can motivate them to keep moving forward despite challenges. 

A mentor can also identify and express their mentee's strengths to instill confidence in them. Having a strong sense of confidence can make the mentee less likely to give up on their goals.  Mentors help make connections A mentor can help build their mentee's professional network. When the mentee identifies professional or personal goals, the mentor can connect them to potential opportunities or individuals who can help them. As the mentor typically has more industry experience or a higher-level career, these connections can be valuable for career advancement.  

Mentors can also share the mistakes they made along their journeys. The mentee benefits because they learn lessons about the mistakes' negative impacts but do not have to suffer the consequences themselves. Learning about these experiences can also help prepare the mentee for the challenges they can expect to face and provide demonstrable advice on how to overcome them.  

Mentors are a free resource we offer to serve this role because they genuinely want to help the other individual grow and establish a more authentic and personal connection. The lack of payment also opens up mentorship for all types of people, rather than restricting this resource to only those who can afford it.

Of the millions of organizations out there, most depend on donations to keep the lights on. According to Charity Navigator, more than 95% of the revenue belonging to 10 highly-rated charities comes from private donations. This means they don’t take government funding or membership fees, and they don’t generate revenue from earned income. Without donations, these organizations wouldn’t be able to continue their work.  

 Donations raise awareness Organizations use donations for a variety of reasons, including expanding their reach. They can pay for things like social media campaigns and fundraising events, which lets them draw attention to the issues they’re focused on. Hitting large donation benchmarks can also attract the media’s attention and give the organization a bigger platform. By donating, a person plays a role in sharing valuable information.  

They also help meet urgent needs There are many situations where people need help quickly. That includes disasters like hurricanes and wildfires. During the Covid-19 pandemic, many areas needed urgent help in the form of PPE and oxygen, while food banks ran out of products at a much faster speed than usual. Donations help pay for emergency relief and see people through crises. Donations also help build long-term solutions While many people donate in times of urgency, donations during the rest of the year are important, too. That’s because many organizations focus on long-term solutions that address the root of issues like poverty.

Experts say that healthcare and education programs are essential. Giving to organizations committed to sustainable and effective actions help communities become self-sufficient.  Even small donations make an impact We often hear about celebrities giving large donations to organizations, but it’s the small ones that add up.  Smaller donations are often recurring amounts given each month. This consistency is important to organizations. It’s also important to remember that with exchange rates, money can go much further in certain areas.
