The Salvation Army Indiana Division’s Post

I know there are a ton of great organizations out there worthy of your support, but KidLinks is an amazing non-profit that provides therapeutic music entertainment at hospitals and music therapy to children with special challenges. Even a small donation can have a direct impact on a child's life. See below to learn more about KidLinks and how you can support their mission.

Help us spread the word about this great #nonprofit and share this post. Consider us in your giving.

Small gestures at scale make a big impact, so why not consider what you could donate to the Old Fire Station’s Big Give campaign. https://lnkd.in/eFJ5QeVH People need a place to feel welcome, express ideas and passions, think through changing times, or escape into art, dance or a show. These opportunities often don’t exist for people with fewer resources, and the combination of Covid, the cost-of-living crisis and stretched frontline services means there are many people who are not being represented or included in the arts. Through working more inclusively, over the next year the Old Fire Station in Oxford expects a footfall of 25,000 people in our building. Some will come to see a show or join a workshop, some will be moving on from homelessness or social crises, others will be volunteers, trainees or refugee women working for Damascus Rose Kitchen. Our work helps people feel part of a community and less isolated, make connections and build networks, improve wellbeing and a sense of purpose, feel heard, represented and valued.

We are do-gooders. When we believe in something, we do everything we can to support it. Music Will, formerly Little Kids Rock, transforms lives by transforming music education in US public schools. We helped them with integrated marketing plans while rebranding. What is your favorite charity organization?

"Death Differently" is a cinematic educational series that explores innovations in death care, including death doulas, hospice workers, alternative death advocates, music thanatologists, and green burial funeral directors. 🧡 Watch the rest here: https://lnkd.in/ecuPaDzN #e2ac #documentaryfilm #nonprofit #socialimpact 

Did you know that whenever there's a major global event such as the horrifying situations in the Ukraine and Gaza, donations to small charities fall off a cliff. When we see innocent children hurt by senseless war and violence, we all want to do what we can to help ease their pain and suffering. The frustrating thing for small charities like the Musical Youth Foundation (CHY#18624) is that the vulnerable children it is our mission to help have not gone away, their nightmare situations persist and often worsen as donations and grant funding get diverted to the more desperate looking situations plastered all over our social networks and across media channels. My dream is to help all children everywhere by giving them access to music lessons and instruments. Music education is proven to result in better outcomes and ultimately save the taxpayer millions by keeping children engaged in the education system. Without your backing, it is just one man’s crazy dream. With your help, thousands of children in Ireland and beyond will benefit from the power of music. Let us create a wave of goodwill and positivity by filling this world with love and music. Just €20. from you once a year can make all the difference. Donate now via https://lnkd.in/dt7CHCaX and together we can change the world a little bit for the better.   #musiceducationmatters #musicforpeace #musicchangeslives #guitarsforkids #childrenscharity #donateforchange #makeadifference #makeanimpact

How much does the arts mean to you?

Join us next Friday to look back on 2023 and set your intentions for 2024! 30% of tickets are gone, cost is by donation. You can use Year Compass on your own and it's fun to do it in community. You can choose to participate as much or as little as you want. ⏰ There will be some time to work on Year Compass--though 2 hours is probably not enough time to do the whole thing. 🎵 . Samala will be DJing using the songs you suggest for 2023 and 2024 as inspiration. 😄 We'll also have breakout rooms for sharing some of your observations--you can chose to participate or not. ❗You can use the session like body doubling and show up, checkin, then turn off your camera and sound. Join us and choose your own adventure! Link in comments.

Nice to be mentioned as one of the success stories!
