The CK Daily – Community & Compassion
Good morning & Happy Tuesday! Hope everyone’s week is going great so far!
I’m back from my trip down to Augusta, GA and I’ve got to say that last week was one of the most impactful weeks of my life. If you’ve been paying attention to the news at all, your heart has probably been broken by the devastation and suffering that so many across the Southeast are dealing with in the wake of Hurricanes Helene and Milton. The destruction felt uniquely personal given that it affected an area of the country that I call “home”. I love my native state of Georgia and the beautiful surrounding states where I spend so much time outdoors.
Given the fact that my friend, Jen, and I have been blessed with a social media following, we knew we wanted to do our best to leverage it for good and all I can say is WOW. We were absolutely blown away by the generosity of our local businesses, local governments, and citizens who all showed up to support our fellow Georgian’s in a big way! We ended up holding a total of 3 donation drives that completely exceeded our expectations. There was not one inch of extra space in any of the vehicles that we took to Augusta!
Once down there, we worked with an incredible nonprofit called Hub Augusta which is a dynamic, community-centered space that houses several key non-profits that are dedicated to uplifting the local community including Augusta Locally Grown, the Augusta Literacy Center, RISE Augusta, the Boys & Girls Club, and Harrisburg Family Health Care. The facility was beautiful and we met so many local leaders who had been working tirelessly since the hurricane hit to help it run efficiently and be a center where locals could come to receive the assistance they need.
We teamed up with an amazing doctor from the health center who joined us as we went into the community to distribute the donations. We completely filled 2 food pantries with food and other essentials, and contributed goods to 2 more. It was both a heartbreaking and heartwarming experience. The people of this area are so resilient and it was our honor to meet them and do our small part to help.
The whole experience has been a powerful reminder of how important community is and the difference we can make when we come together to help those in need. Every effort – no matter how small – can make a world of difference!
