God calls us to pay attention to the needs of others and to serve with Love.
He calls us to show kindness and compassionš¤š.
It was the example Jesus set when he fed the multitude, healed the sick, and asked us to Love.
So, let's try! Let's do our part.
As for me, I can only hope that maybe the love, time, skills, and energy I put into this project of challenging brands to do more for people will see many people both giving and receiving kindness in abundance to satisfy people's greatest needs.
Itās time to get the brands we support to turn up for people like you and me. With your help, on an ongoing basis, Iāll be reaching out to brands of your choice challenging them to take certain actions for the benefit of us (you, me, others).Ā
CHALLENGE 1: FEED THE HUNGRY š
Things are tight for a lot of people right now. Join me and share this initiative so that we can activate the power of the crowd to get brands to help people cover their food bill.
The Challenge: Iād like to get food brands to work with registered charities to provide some families with free groceries or meals for at least a month. Iād also like to get my Tumblr community discount codes from these merchants to help lessen your own financial pressures right now. These two things will be mandatory, but brands who participate can also choose to offer some optional perks (see below).
Drop your suggestions: Which food/grocery brands would you like me to reach out to? Which hunger-relief charities or food banks need a win right now?
Leave your brands and charities in the comments. Iāll get to work reaching out to these brands and report back on who steps up. As I challenge these brands, help me succeed by putting the power of the crowd behind me by following and sharing this.

THE CONTEXT
How it works:
The Theme: I drop a challenge like this regularly.
The Targets: You suggest brands you actually like and registered charities/causes to receive help in the comments.
The Execution: Iāll approach some of these brands (ones whose values match the social good we represent) with a list of requests to see who is actually willing to step up.
The Outcome: Brands send donations directly to your charities. Iāll announce that and any goodies brands want to offer you here in a debrief report. Brands who participate get boosted by us.
What Iām asking them for:
The Essentials (mandatory): (1) a direct donation to any of the charities you listed (2) perks to share with my community.
The Extra Mile (optional): Iāll challenge them to go further by optionally doing any/all of the following: (1) promoting any of your charities on their socials/website, (2) picking at least three persons who have reblogged this post to receive an extra special gift, (3) supporting this creatorās work by leaving a tip, (4) offering special earning opportunities for my community (e.g., writing and other creative gigs), (5) adopting a charity for continued giving, and/or (6) offering their staff time off to volunteer to any of your charities.
In return? We show some love to the brands that actually step up by engaging with them, buying from them, and/or telling others about them. The brands that pick the most of all the options and/or gives the most gets called out with special focus in the debrief report which doubles as a marketing tool.
š Letās make this happen. Follow me to get updates and share to help build the power of the crowd. This only works if you do this with me. Iām ready to give my full time and energy in this way to make good things for you and a world that needs it.
*Remember to share your suggestions of brands/charities.
