As I sat down to ponder my monthly fundraising article, I wondered if I could come up with enough ideas to write an entire post this time. After all, I’ve already shared over 100 fundraising ideas.

Fortunately, after searching online for a bit I discovered these creative fundraisers that were recently held across the country.

I’ve included contact information for each of these organizations. This enables you to contact them directly for more details. If you know of other unique fundraising ideas, I would love to have you share them in the comment section!

What It’s Really Like To Donate Blood

What it's like to donate blood

I’m writing today’s post for a specific group of my readers—those of you who have never donated blood. Why? Because I received an email from our local blood bank yesterday letting me know that they are currently down 775 blood donations from their usual number. Ouch!

During the holiday season, we often get so busy that we put off extra tasks like donating blood. Yet, people can’t take a break from needing blood due to illness, injury, or surgery.

I don’t say this to make anyone feel guilty. Some of you have medical conditions that prevent you from donating. Yet, I often meet people who have never given blood simply because they don’t know what to expect and they’re scared. That’s understandable.

nursing home memorial service ideas

A friend and I recently attended a fundraising event for a local charity. While there, I ran across a woman whose mother was a former resident at the nursing home where I volunteer.

She told me how much she appreciated the care provided for her mom over the years. But she said what she remembers most is how the staff cared for her mom and the family after her death.

Spiritual care in the nursing home

We do many things every day to help meet the needs of our residents. It becomes second nature to look out for their physical, social, environmental, and emotional wellbeing. Yet, it’s all too easy to put spiritual care off to the side or assume the chaplaincy department will take care of that need.

No matter what our religious background or beliefs, everyone has spiritual needs. My goal today is to offer you some tools to help you provide spiritual care for your residents.

Favorite quotes for grandparents

Back in April, I shared a post highlighting funny quotes for grandparents that proved to be quite popular. Today I decided to share more grandparent quotes, but this time on a more serious note.

I hope you’ll share these quotes with your residents. And remember that a grandparent and a grandchild aren’t always connected by DNA. A grandparent can be any older adult who opens their heart to a child.
