Employ to Empower helps aspiring entrepreneurs on Vancouver's Downtown Eastside overcome barriers and develop their businesses. We work with dozens of entrepreneurs who do things like teach Indigenous crafting, do de-cluttering for seniors, collect human and dog waste from downtown streets, design jewellery, sell cookies, and more.

Marketing is new to our entrepreneurs, and understanding social media marketing is a daunting task. Some are scared away from it entirely, others think they have to do everything all at once.

On November 16th, we'll be running an individual coaching session for 9 entrepreneurs, and 1 person from our own marketing team - to learn about social media strategy, and do an audit of their social media plans. Each entrepreneur will have done a previous session in October - but we hope an expert training session with a volunteer from Hootsuite will cement what they've learned, and take it to the next level.

We are looking for volunteers with knowledge and experience of a broad spectrum of social media, who care about issues of poverty, and about making things better in Vancouver's Downtown Eastside neighbourhood.

The session will be 60-90 minutes (depending on the entrepreneur's needs), and will see a volunteer paired with an entrepreneur to learn about their business, marketing strategy, and to coach them on the best social media (if any) for what they would like to do.

United Way of Northern New Jersey seeks help from volunteers for its annual United Way Tools for School drive, which provides students with the basic tools needed to succeed in the classroom.

As students return to school in the fall, children will need basic school supplies. The drive typically seeks to benefit nearly 10,000 elementary and middle school children of ALICE (Asset Limited, Income Constrained, Employed) workers and those in poverty throughout the northern New Jersey region. 

United Way Tools for School aims to alleviate the budget strains on families struggling to afford the basics and who are now impacted by rising inflation.

You can help make a difference by holding a United Way Tools for School drive or volunteering with sorting supplies.

Based on the needs expressed by local educators, United Way is collecting packed backpacks and the following school supplies: hand sanitizer, masks, backpacks, lunch boxes, binders, three-ring notebooks, book covers, filler paper, pocket folders, composition and spiral notebooks, index cards, calculators, pencils, pencil cases, pencil sharpeners, erasers, pens, highlighters, crayons, markers, colored pencils, construction paper, glue, tape, rulers, and scissors.

Volunteers can also hold a drive to collect individual supplies and new, age-appropriate backpacks. In addition, school nurses have asked for personal care items such as toothbrushes, deodorant, and kindergarten and first grade-aged children’s underwear and socks. Gift cards that can be used to purchase items such as shoes and clothing are also appreciated.   

Last year, with the help of 65 volunteers, hundreds of backpacks and supplies valued at $54,000 were collected and distributed to 40 local schools and 10 nonprofit agencies throughout the northern New Jersey region.  

For more information, visit uwnnj.org/school, email Sean.Hyland@UnitedWayNNJ.org, or call 973.993.1160 x405.

Each year, United Way of Northern New Jersey seeks help from the community to purchase (and sometimes sort) holiday gifts for individuals in need during its annual United Way Gifts of the Season program.

United Way, in partnership with area nonprofits, annually identifies area children, families, senior citizens and adults with disabilities who are struggling to afford basic needs and seeks to bring them holiday cheer.

ALICE (Asset Limited, Income Constrained, Employed) and households in poverty are struggling to afford life’s basics. The holidays and winter months bring additional financial stress, which United Way is seeking to alleviate with community support.

Residents and businesses can support United Way Gifts of the Season by fulfilling a specific gift request or purchasing a general gift. United Way also accepts store gifts cards and donations.

You can also make a difference by giving of your time. Opportunities include conducting a virtual gift collection drive, holding a gift card drive, and making ornaments. There are also opportunities for businesses to help sort gifts.

For more information about United Way Gifts of the Season, email Lisa.Galonardo@UnitedWayNNJ.org or call 973.993.1160 x503.
