Engage in Corporate Social Responsibility: Volunteer in 2024

by misstakenid, posted in Uncategorized

Corporate volunteer matching programs and Volunteer Time Off (VTO) are incredible ways to give back to your community while maximizing the impact of your contributions. At Misstakenid Gives Back Foundation, we want to educate individuals on how to utilize these benefits in 2024 to make a difference.

What is Corporate Volunteer Matching?

Corporate volunteer matching programs allow companies to match the hours their employees spend volunteering with financial donations to the non-profit organization. If your employer offers this, you can double your impact with every hour you spend giving back!

What is Volunteer Time Off (VTO)?

Volunteer Time Off (VTO) is paid time off employees can use to volunteer at non-profits or community service events. Many companies offer this as part of their benefits package, allowing you to give back during working hours without using personal time.

How You Can Get Involved in 2024:

1. Check Your Company’s Policy: Speak with your HR department to see if they offer VTO or volunteer matching.

2. Partner with Misstakenid Gives Back Foundation: We have several upcoming events in 2024 and beyond, including hunger relief initiatives and community service events that need volunteers. Your time and corporate match could help us make an even greater impact.

3. Spread the Word: Encourage your co-workers to join in, making it a team effort!

By utilizing these programs, you can contribute more effectively and inspire others to give back.

Misstakenid Gives Back Foundation Day of Service 2-Day Event- A Community of Service! (December 6 & 7, 2024)

by misstakenid, posted in Uncategorized

We are excited to announce that the Misstakenid Gives Back Foundation will be hosting a special 2-Day Day of Service this December! Mark your calendars for December 6-7, 2024—two days dedicated to making a difference in the lives of our unhoused neighbors, veterans, seniors, and those experiencing food insecurity in our community.

What’s Happening?

Day 1: Friday, December 6, 2024

We will kick off the weekend by gathering volunteers to prepare breakfast for our unhoused/hungry neighbors. This event has been our annual event for 5 years and this will be our 6th year. This event has been done in honor our Founder’s Late Mother Cassandra W. Umstead, as she was key in instilling the willingness to serve into our Founder A. Umstead.

Our mission is to ensure that our unhoused neighbors feel the warmth and care of the community as they receive nourishing meals made with love.

Day 2: Saturday, December 7, 2024

On this second day of service, we will have a short program, acknowledging the Misstakenid Gives Back Foundation Day of Service! After that we will have some fun.

Volunteers will prepare sandwiches that will be delivered to a local homeless shelter. We will also begin assembling essential supply bags filled with toiletries, snacks, and other daily necessities for distribution.

Volunteers will be delivering the supply bags to a family shelter, seniors, veterans, and the unhoused community in Durham and Roxboro, NC. These bags will include items like soups, instant coffee, toiletries, and snacks.

This day also marks our special outreach in honor of our Founder’s late Father Wallace Umstead to senior and veteran living facilities, where we will bring joy and comfort to those who have served our nation and those in need.

Why This Event Matters

At the Misstakenid Gives Back Foundation, we believe that small acts of kindness can make a big difference. By coming together as a community, we’re not only providing critical resources to those in need but also showing that they are seen, cared for, and valued. Our 2-day Day of Service is more than just a chance to give back—it’s an opportunity to be a part of something greater, something that will leave a lasting impact on the lives of hundreds.

How You Can Get Involved

We need YOU to help make this event a success! Whether you’re available for one day or both, we welcome all volunteers with open arms. Here’s how you can participate:

Volunteer your time to help prepare and distribute sandwiches and supply bags.

Donate supplies such as snacks, toiletries, and socks.

support for seniors

In addition to helping with advocacy training, we are committed to bringing joy and companionship to our seniors. Our volunteers will visit elder care facilities, offering their time and companionship to brighten the days of residents. A friendly conversation, a shared story, or simply a listening ear can make a world of difference.

At Misstakenid Gives Back Foundation we believe in the power of community and the importance of support. Through the Misstakenid Heroes & Elder Alliance, we strive to provide the resources and compassion needed to uplift our seniors and veterans.

Our 5th Annual Feed the Homeless/Hungry Holiday Breakfast Dec 7, 2023 was a Success!!

by misstakenid, posted in Uncategorized

We had a chance to go back to where we started feeding large groups, Urban Ministries of Durham for our 5th Annual Feed the Homeless and Hungry Holiday Breakfast.

We had a great time serving in the community and we were able to provide a hearty meal to 230 people that are either suffering from homelessness, food insecurity or both.

Not only did we purchase items our team also worked the industrial kitchen and prepared a delicious breakfast menu consisting of turkey sausage, turkey bacon, grits, hasbrowns, eggs, fruit, breakfast pastries, juice, coffee, water. Aside from preparing the breakfast we helped pass out lunch bags that were also donated from other organizations.

The population that we served was very thankful and expressed gratitude. As a treat, we had our resident DJ, Tobias Mayor Morrison spinning the holiday hits while they enjoyed their meal. This brought great joy to all and contributed to the wonderful experience.

We would love to thank all of those that volunteered their time and a special thanks to all of the individuals that gave monetary donations.

We would also like to thank our community sponsors for this event : Indulge Catering and WEGMANS.

It really takes a village and numerous donations to prepare a meal for over 200 people. If you would like to donate to future events for 2024 please click on our donation page!

WE will continue this event in 2024, and it will take place on December 6, 2024 in Durham, NC.
