Impact doesn't start with grand gestures. It begins with small acts of care. As the season of giving unfolds, consider how your small act can ripple outward for students in need. Even a small donation, multiplied across a community, creates real change. #HHAW #CommunityCare #CollectiveImpact

All students deserve food and a safe place to sleep, yet one in four faces food insecurity. During Hunger and Homelessness Awareness Week, take a moment to notice the need and act. Volunteer, share info, or donate (Gather Food Hall is a great option). #HHWeek #SmallActsBigImpact
