HUNGRY’s Post

I was thinking about the idea of “community” yesterday as we sat along the parade route watching our hometown 4th of July parade. The sight of neighbors and friends coming together, waving flags, and sharing smiles reminded me of the true essence of community. According to Wikipedia, “a community is a social unit with a shared socially significant characteristic, such as place, set of norms, culture, religion, values, customs, or identity. Communities may share a sense of place situated in a given geographical area or in virtual space through communication platforms.” So many of us rely on our community to support us, shelter us, educate us, and include us. Our hometown, with its familiar faces and cherished traditions, provides a sense of belonging and continuity that is irreplaceable. However, the idea of community has evolved significantly over the years. In addition to our local neighborhoods, many people now find meaningful connections through online communities. These virtual spaces can be just as valuable, offering support, camaraderie, and a sense of belonging, no matter where we are in the world. Whatever community means to you—whether it’s the friendly faces you see every day, or the online friends who share your interests and passions—I hope you feel included and valued. Let’s cherish the diverse ways we come together and support one another. Happy 4th of July weekend! May your celebrations be filled with joy, unity, and a profound sense of community. #humanresources #community #friends #july4 #smallbusinessconsulting #hr

Happy February! As we reflect on this past year, it’s become even more important for us to show our appreciation for our loved ones and those that make our day brighter around our communities. Sharing our gratitude and LOVE for others shouldn’t just fall on a designated day, it should be every day! Why don’t we make our own rules this year and start a new trend to share our appreciation at home and at your favorite places where you do business. Make a point to appreciate someone every day - a special note or a few kind words is all that it takes! ❤ #grateful #monthoflove #happyclients #clientsfirst #clientappreciation #whoyouworkwithmatters #teamworkmakesthedreamwork #dreamteam #bestinclientsatisfaction #lovewhatwedo #seamlessexperience #successmindset #resultsmatter #supportourcommunity #lovewhereyoulive #seattlerealestate #sellingseattle #bestofseattle #movetoseattle #seattlewashington #pnwliving #pnwwonderland #eatlocal #shoplocal #warealestate #wahouses #realestate #compasswashington #thesirbuteam

Street Parties/Lunches aren't just about the food, music, and games; they're about bringing people together and lifting each other up, especially during tough times like grief. 🏡🎉 Did you know that the most significant pandemic affecting us all is loneliness? People are often living quiet desperate lives behind closed doors. As someone who has lived in my street for over 35 years, I have been intentional in building connection and community. I realised I can’t change the world but I can have an impact by focusing on sharing care and love in my street. I recently had the pleasure of experiencing something truly special at our Street Lunch, and I couldn't wait to share it with you all! It wasn't just about the fun and games; it was a shining example of the power of community engagement. The Street Lunch brought together people from all walks of life, going beyond barriers of age, ethnicity, and background. It was a beautiful reminder that our differences are what make us stronger when we come together. In the middle of the music and laughter, there were moments of connection as people shared their stories and experiences. These interactions weren't just surface-level; they were the building blocks of lasting friendships and community support. Businesses, take note! Being part of events like our street lunch can be a great opportunity to engage in your community in meaningful ways. You're not only building brand loyalty but also making a real difference in people's lives. It is a chance to demonstrate your commitment to social responsibility and also create a positive brand image rooted in empathy, compassion, and authenticity. So, whether you're someone who wants to impact the world positively, connect with your customers, or just someone who loves a good party, let’s keep celebrating community and spreading joy wherever we live! Join me in my vision to change the world one street at a time 🎉🏡 What happens in your street? ❣️ #HandlingGrief #GriefSpecialist #GriefCoach #GriefSupport #GriefRecovery #HandleYourGrief #StreetParty #StreetLunch #Community

We recently had Trash Arts visit us at our TYC HQ in Fort Widley to dicuss 2 opportunities to work together that will, in turn benefit and provide quality opportunities for the Young Creatives of Portsmouth. What I liked about Sam and Jackson was that - they came out to our HQ to dicuss this. They could have asked to meet for a coffee in a cafe (we get countless lovely requests for this each week). Trash Arts wanted to see where we worked from and what we do. This is great business and had me in a positive mindset about them as a company, before they even arrived to pitch their projects. Controversly, I don't like coffee and coming from a no income start in life and running a not-for- profit, I can't help but begrudge spending what equates to a lot of money a year on parking and drinks plus loosing 1 to 2 hours out of the day. Importantly, I got to show Sam and Jackon around the space where our young creatives make the magic happen. And they got a real feel for who we are and what we do. It turns out that I believe we may be coming from a similar place when you look at what we do and why within our home cities. I am happy to be working together. ** Please note - I would have happily met them at their own place of work for the same reasons. This is not a moan about me having to travel to network and connect, it's just an understanding of why, when you are working at grassroots level with community projects and not for profits, sometimes it may be better to consider going out to see where it happens or inviting them to you, over meeting in a Costa for a coffee 😉 https://lnkd.in/egMx4Rgf

This has been our mission from the start, this is #WhyWednesday "We were missing platforms for people to come together and converse instead of painting each other as the 'other,' and The Great Reset is one of those platforms." #ListenFirst #TheGreatReset #CommunityRoundtables #CentreCollege #CommunityThroughConversation #KeeptheConversationGoing

“🌟 Building bridges in our community! 🌟 Every year, I organize ‘Splatter Me Crazy,’ @splattermecrazy a colorful event where we invite local Pittsburgh celebrities to get covered in paint, all for a good cause. 🎨💫 Thanks to Dominique Murray for sharing her community-building approach! 🤝 Now, I’m curious: How do you create connections and build bridges between people?

Community engagement is imperative to maintaining a successful property management role. Getting tenants to attend the events you throw is a great way to build relationships and foster a community between residents. If you’re a property manager, tell us your best community engagement tip in the comments section. We’ll go first: Having parties and events around holidays is a great way to get started on community engagement. For example, try throwing a Halloween costume party. Entice tenants to come by offering free food or a prize for the best costume. #ClassAManagement #communityengagement #residentevents #partytime #Halloween #holidays
