10 years ago, my daughter was unexpectedly stillborn when I was 35 weeks pregnant. Our loved ones struggled to help us from afar. I knew it was a problem I could solve. Just this month alone, over 11,000 acts of support took place on @giveinkind. I’m so proud to do this work.

We're gathering some new quotes at @giveinkind about the importance of support through all life moments. Would love your comments on why supporting people through big moments is as important as we know it is.

So, I spoke to people getting food at a food bank and here are some things I learned from those in need: 1. Everyone donates Kraft Mac and Cheese in the box. They can rarely use it because it needs milk and butter which is hard to get from regular food banks. 2. Boxed milk is a treasure, as kids need it for cereal which they also get a lot of. 3. Everyone donates pasta sauce and spaghetti noodles. 4. They cannot eat all the awesome canned veggies and soup unless you put a can opener in too or buy pop tops. 5. Oil is a luxury but needed for Rice a-Roni which they also get a lot of. 6. Spices or salt and pepper would be a real Christmas gift. 7. Tea bags and coffee make them feel like you care. 8. Sugar and flour are treats. 9. They fawn over fresh produce donated by farmers and grocery stores. 10. Seeds are cool in Spring and Summer because growing can be easy for some. 11. They rarely get fresh meat. 12. Tuna and crackers make a good lunch. 13. Hamburger Helper goes nowhere without ground beef. 14. They get lots of peanut butter and jelly but usually not sandwich bread. 15. Butter or margarine is nice too. 16. Eggs are a real commodity. 17. Cake mix and frosting makes it possible to make a child’s birthday cake. 18. Dishwashing detergent is very expensive and is always appreciated. 19. Feminine hygiene products are a luxury and women will cry over that. 20. Everyone loves Stove Top Stuffing. In all the years I have donated food at the Holidays, I bought what I thought they wanted, but have never asked. I am glad I did. If you are helping a Family this Christmas, maybe this can help you tailor it more. It does for me!

With so many fundraisers for Maui underway, here's an opportunity for folks around the nation to get helpful support directly into the hands of those most in need. We partnered with Cream B Maui who are collecting and distributing supplies and gift cards 🌈giveinkind.com/inkinds/Y8R0F…

3 different high traffic @giveinkind pages this weekend. 3 different families grieving. 3 different senseless shootings. People asked us how Covid impacted a platform for organizing support in difficult times. Seems gun violence will impact us just the same.

My mom was a real estate appraiser for 25 years, driving up random driveways and photographing homes without permission on a daily basis, in primarily rural areas. I’m so glad she retired, because I would fear for her life every day in this climate.

I’ve been a huge proponent of @brexHQ (and even featured on their homepage) but I think their layoffs included their Travel service bc it’s been 2 days of losing fares and sitting on hold just trying to use travel credit they hold on to. No one on phones or chat anymore. 😭

This tweet is bothering me so much, it’s so deeply biased. Fellow underrepresented founders, were you playing video games, or out babysitting, pushing lawnmowers and starting lemonade stands? I believe those early hustles are better correlated to future founders.

Huge congrats to my friend @LauraGiveInKind, GRIT PERSONIFIED. From totally underestimated, to the hottest round in the accelerator, to struggling to raise more, to landing this exit. I'm thrilled at how many MORE people will benefit from @giveinkind. geekwire.com/2022/social-giv…

Founder milestone: @giveinkind has been acquired! I will write more soon about the journey the last 6 years has been, but for now I get to focus on planning for 2023 with my team, and all the ways we'll scale our impact as a part of the Wolfe family. prweb.com/releases/wolfe_llc…

In the nick of time, I was asked to give my expert opinion on a Twitter controversy. “The practice of greeting new neighbors with baskets of cookies and a barrage of casseroles might not be as common as it once was, but it’s hardly gone extinct.” washingtonpost.com/food/2022…

They’re all there because they’re investing in women. Because they know there is infinite underfunded potential in that room. Because they’re doing something to change the numbers. I’m so proud to be in the @grahamandwalker portfolio, and hope I’m an LP next - and you should, too
