If you're like me, the pandemic expanded your waistline. If you're like me, you are ALSO working on fixing this, but in the meantime have decided you hate everything in your closet (even that shirt you never EVER wore). Well, you know what they say: one person's trash is another person's treasure! Consider a closet clean out (or living room clean out, or garage clean out...) and donate your new or gently used items to Goodwill! Goodwill is a secular organization that uses the revenue generated from their stores or shopgoodwill.com to provide valuable employment training and job placement services for people in your community. Drops offs are easy (just give them a call to see what time they start accepting donations on the day you plan on going) and you can even ask for a donation certificate for tax purposes! I've already donated twice this last year with a third round in the works. Join me?

Family Promise is a wonderful organization that works to end - and maybe more importantly, prevent - family homelessness. With COVID-19 impacts expected to impact families already struggling to stay safe for months to come, there's no better time to make a difference in someone's life. If you're looking for great charity to donate to or get involved with, check them out!

Tiny Paws does amazing work rescuing, fostering, and connecting pugs to their forever homes. They take in and take care of a range of pugs from those who are dire need of medical attention, to those who are owner surrenders. They also create a fun and loving pug community here on the Central Coast & Bay Area of California. In fact, if you're near the Santa Cruz mountains in October, you might want to join in on their Pug-o-ween fundraiser event. Imagine: a steam train full of pugs in costumes meandering through the redwoods! What could be better than that?!

We've been following and donating to TPPR over the years, and this year, we were so excited to finally adopt a pug from TPPR! Her name is Noelle and she's a sweetheart. She brings us so much joy everyday, and it's all thanks to the great folks at TPPR.

If you're an animal lover or know anyone with a special place in their heart for pugs, please look into Tiny Paws!

Chabot College in Hayward, California was a distribution site for weekly free food distributions during the spring and summer for our students and those in our community in need.  The pandemic caused many job losses and created even more food insecurity in our community.  On a typical week, we were able to serve 871 families and over 3,100 people.  Volunteers packed food and provided no contact distribution.  The International Student Club participated several times in this very rewarding experience.  While Chabot is no longer hosting this free distribution event, volunteers are still needed by the Alameda County Food Bank.
