A 1,000 Hour Impact

0
0

In August, Emanate dedicated 1,000 hours of agency time to support community service projects we are passionate about that also align with the UN’s Millennium Development Goals.

We’re proud to report that we met our 1,000 hour commitment, but prouder still that we’ve helped make a difference for partner organizations and the people they serve.

We’ve become first-time bartenders, hosting fundraising events for child health initiatives; we’ve been elbow deep in a Brooklyn-based community garden shifting soil, pulling weeds and picking organic vegetables in an under-served neighborhood; and we’ve partnered with not-for-profit communications teams to raise awareness for a variety of programs, from combating child hunger to generating employment opportunities for underprivileged women.

We have staffed events, ran in marathons, sorted frozen meat at the Food Bank for NYC warehouse and, most recently, volunteered at locations supplied by that Food Bank. Over the past two days Emanators have prepared and served dinner at the community kitchen in Harlem; assisted shoppers, bagged groceries, and restocked shelves at the local NYC Food Pantry; and worked food stations in NY schools as a part of Hurricane Sandy relief efforts – delivering food to students and their families.

The takeaway here is an obvious one – GIVE BACK. Step out of your day to day and expose yourself to someone else’s reality. Good work is contagious and addictive. Emanators are volunteering more on their own now – myself included. Good work comes in many forms,  whether it’s hands-on volunteering, offering pro bono professional services, or simple random acts of kindness.

Happy Holidays!
