Global Giving

I know I sound like a broken record, but support us on Global Giving! It makes a great holiday gift!

Congrats!

Congratulations to this year's NETwork Against Malaria 5k youth winners!

NETwork needs YOU!

Dear NETwork Team,

NETwork has another amazing opportunity- becoming listed on Global Giving's website. Getting on Global Giving is like the big leagues for a nonprofit. With people and companies all over the world having access to our information, we could make money in our sleep!

Remember all those times we got up at six am on a Saturday to prepare for an event? Well, we'll still probably do that, but there's a chance we could have been making money at 3 am while you were asleep too.

ONLY ONE LITTLE THING: We have to raise $4,000 from 5o different donors by DEMEBER 22!!

So now we need to get on our fundraisin' faces and makes some dough!

Ask friends family, ANYONE to donate. Dotations can be $10 or more sizable. ANY GIFT WILL BE APPRECIATED!

So get out there heros of fundraising, because NO TASK IS TOO DAUNTING- NO TASK IS IMPOSSIBLE!


(oh, by the way, here's the website you'll need!)

Thanksgiving

Thanks giving is a time to be thankful- for all the wonderful things we have in our lives. It is also a time to reflect on all the things that we can do to improve the lives of others.

As young volunteers, we realize that November is often a time for hunger awarness. Do some research on your community to learn about local hunger issues your community faces.

In my own community, more people are visiting food pantries which has caused them to run low and even run out. I volunteer at a food pantry and have been told stock is high around the holidays, but runs low throughout the rest of the year.

A great cause for you is a random hunger drive for your own community. Call your local food pantry to find out when food runs lowest and when your Non-Holiday Food Drive would be most needed.

Key Chain Days

So volunteering is sort of like making NETwork jewelry. Sometimes its a safety pin bracelet day and you feel like spending hours volunteering to alleviate the suffering of others. Other times it's a key chain day and a couple of minutes is just right. Either way, giving your time is great.

Weather you're in a safety pin mood or a key chain mood, there is always something you can do to help, always some way to get involved.
