One Purchase, Twice the Impact for Girls and Families in Need

METAIRIE, LA, UNITED STATES, June 5, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- After a Girl Scout cookie season plagued by severe weather, canceled booths, and even rare snow and ice, Girl Scouts Louisiana East (GSLE) is partnering with Cox Communications, presented by Cox Mobile and Second Harvest Food Bank to extend this year’s sale. Each purchase helps connect local kids to life skills and key resources. Plus, guests can donate cookies to support neighbors in need of a boost.

Cookies for a Cause, a drive-through cookie sale and donation event, is scheduled from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday, June 21, at Cox’s retail location located at 4852 Veterans Memorial Blvd. in Metairie. Not only is this a final chance to get your favorite Girl Scout Cookies until next year, it’s an opportunity to buy a box (or case) and donate a box (or case) to Second Harvest Food Bank.

“This isn’t just about cookies, it’s about meeting two urgent community needs with one action,” Rebecca Pennington, CEO of Girl Scouts Louisiana East, said. “Every box purchased helps provide critical food supplies to families in need while also supporting scholarships, camp, and life-changing leadership programs for local girls.”

Due to unprecedented weather disruptions throughout the 2025 cookie season, GSLE is facing a surplus of cookie inventory that represents essential funds for the organization’s programs, especially those that make Girl Scouting accessible to all girls regardless of financial circumstances.

At the same time, Second Harvest Food Bank is navigating a steep drop in federally funded food support due to USDA cuts.

The public can support Cookies for a Cause in the following ways:
Purchase cookies online in advance and pick them up drive-through style
Buy on-site while supplies last
Enter to win a year’s supply of Girl Scout Cookies—for just $5 per ticket, guests can enter a raffle to win 100 packages of cookies to keep or donate to Second Harvest Food Bank

Feel good knowing every purchase supports both Girl Scout programs (like camp and financial aid scholarships) and local hunger relief efforts
In addition to making a double impact, customers will receive swag bags courtesy of Cox Mobile and be entered for surprise giveaways throughout the day.

"Connectivity is at the heart of everything we do, and this cookie drive helps support our neighbors and community," said Cox Greater New Orleans Market Vice President Sunni LeBeouf. "Cox Mobile and Cox Communications care deeply about being present in our communities, whether through employee volunteerism and community engagement or utilizing our technology to support innovative programs. Girl Scouts Louisiana East is helping to shape future leaders, and Cox is committed to building a better future for the next generation. We are proud to partner with the Girl Scouts and Second Harvest on such a meaningful initiative."

CATHOLIC CHARITIES OF NORTHWEST CALIFORNIA EXPANDS TO SONOMA VALLEY THROUGH NEW PARTNERSHIP WITH HOMELESS ACTION SONOMA

The logos of Catholic Charities of Northwest California and Homeless Action Sonoma — two organizations coming together to expand shelter and support services in Sonoma Valley.Jennielynn Holmes, CEO of Catholic Charities of Northwest California, and James Whittaker, Board Chair of Homeless Action Sonoma, formalize a new partnership to support the region’s only shelter in Sonoma Valley.Home & Safe Village in Sonoma Valley — a 20-unit temporary emergency shelter program that will continue to serve local residents through the new partnership between HAS and CCNWC.Joint partnership expands services at Sonoma Valley’s only shelter, combining local vision with regional expertise to support unhoused neighbors.Partnering with Catholic Charities ensures the longevity of our mission and strengthens services for Sonoma Valley”— James Whitaker, HAS Board ChairSONOMA, CA, UNITED STATES, June 11, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Homeless Action Sonoma (HAS) and Catholic Charities of Northwest California (CCNWC) are pleased to announce a new operating partnership that will expand essential services and shelter operations in Sonoma Valley. Under the agreement, CCNWC will assume operations of the 20-unit temporary emergency shelter program that HAS launched and currently operates - marking a significant step in regional collaboration and service expansion.This partnership ensures the continued success of the only shelter in Sonoma Valley under the management of one of Northern California’s largest and most experienced providers of housing and homelessness solutions. While HAS retains ownership of the site, CCNWC will support the vision of HAS by overseeing day-to-day operations, including case management and integrated support services. This collaboration reflects the hard work and vision of Homeless Action Sonoma to bring this vital program to life - and ensures that their mission continues to thrive in partnership. It also reinforces Catholic Charities’ growing role as a regional leader in housing and supportive services, with a deepening focus not just on Santa Rosa, but on communities across all of Northwest California. “We’ve always believed that meeting people where they are - both literally and figuratively - is how we make the greatest impact. Expanding our operations into Sonoma Valley allows us to bring that commitment to a community we know has long needed more support,” said Jennielynn Holmes, CEO of Catholic Charities of Northwest California. “We’re honored to join Homeless Action Sonoma in this next chapter – bringing our regional experience and wraparound services to strengthen what’s already been built. This partnership also creates an economy of scale – enabling us to provide more services at a lower cost, and in a way that’s more sustainable for the long therm. While we’ve long served communities beyond Santa Rosa, this collaboration reflects an intentional focus on meeting needs across the entire region – true to our identity as Catholic Charities of Northwest California.”Recent data underscores the urgency of this expansion. The 2024 Sonoma County Point-in-Time Count revealed an 11% increase in homelessness over the past year, with a significant rise in unsheltered individuals. Nearly 80% of those experiencing homelessness in the county became unhoused while already living locally – highlighting the need for immediate, community-based solutions. With a strong track record that includes housing over 1,800 individuals in the last three years, and delivering holistic services to thousands more, Catholic Charities is well-positioned to expand this vital work in Sonoma Valley – honoring and building upon Homeless Action Sonoma’s original vision.With operations planned to transition at the end of June, CCNWC will introduce its wide range of wraparound services to the Sonoma Valley program, including:• Emergency and Transitional Shelter Operations• Immigration Legal Services• Benefit Enrollment (CalFresh, Medi-Cal, etc.)• Housing Counseling and Financial Assistance Programs“From the very beginning, our goal at Homeless Action Sonoma has been to create a sustainable, dignified response to homelessness in Sonoma Valley – one that reflects the values and needs of this community,” said James Whittaker, Board Chair of Homeless Action Sonoma. “As we looked to the future, it became clear that partnering with an experienced provider like Catholic Charities would help us realize that vision and ensure longevity of the program. This collaboration allows us to preserve what makes this project unique while expanding the services and support available to our unhoused neighbors. It’s a powerful example of how nonprofits can come together to meet a critical need in a more effective and lasting way.”The partnership was made possible through critical support and guidance from the Community Foundation Sonoma County (CFSC) and the Sonoma Valley Catalyst Fund, who view this model as a forward-thinking approach to nonprofit collaboration. In addition to providing strategic guidance, CFSC has committed financial resources to help launch and sustain this effort.“These are exactly the kind of partnerships we’re proud to invest in - community organizations joining forces to build something more resilient and impactful than one organization could achieve alone,” said Amy Holter, Vice President for Community Impact at CFSC. “Our financial and strategic support for this initiative is part of our Resilient Organizations Program, which was created to strengthen nonprofits facing fiscal, operational and leadership challenges. At a time when nonprofits are facing a perfect storm of donor fatigue, economic uncertainty, and looming state and federal funding cuts, we are so grateful to work with thoughtful, mission-aligned partners like HAS and CCNWC to ensure continuity and growth of services for people experiencing homelessness in the Valley."Angela Ryan, Executive Director of the Sonoma Valley Catalyst Fund added, “This collaboration isn’t just strategic - it’s transformational for Sonoma Valley and for many of our most vulnerable neighbors.”Sonoma County Supervisor Rebecca Hermosillo, whose district includes the City of Sonoma, offered invaluable resources throughout this growing partnership and expressed enthusiastic support:“This partnership represents a brighter future for Sonoma Valley. It uplifts those who need it most and enhances the health and strength of our entire community. I commend both organizations for coming together in service of our most vulnerable neighbors. This is another positive step in ensuring every person in the Sonoma Valley has a safe place to rest their heads.”A public open house will be held in late July or early August, offering partners and community members the opportunity to visit the site and learn how this partnership will serve Sonoma Valley moving forward.“When we collaborate, everyone wins - especially our neighbors who need us most,” added Holmes.Together, HAS and CCNWC are committed to ensuring that the Sonoma Valley shelter not only continues, but thrives. This partnership builds on Homeless Action Sonoma’s vision and deep local relationships, paired with Catholic Charities’ regional expertise in shelter and housing operations. It reflects what’s possible when organizations come together with a shared purpose and a commitment to serving clients in the best way possible.

Wiceprzewodniczący PE: Polska prezydencja zapewniła UE stabilność w niepewnych czasach. Wiele inicjatyw dotyczyło obronności

Polska prezydencja zapewniła Unii Europejskiej stabilną pozycję polityczną i ekonomiczną – podkreśla wiceprzewodniczący Parlamentu Europejskiego, który przyjechał do Warszawy na Konferencję Komisji do Spraw Unijnych Parlamentów Unii Europejskiej (COSAC). W trakcie sesji plenarnej podkreślono, że do tej pory udało się przyjąć szereg inicjatyw, z których najważniejsze są te z obszaru obronności. Niebawem stery w Radzie UE przejmie Dania, która zdaniem polityków powinna wśród priorytetów postawić ponownie na kwestie bezpieczeństwa, ale też szukanie nowych partnerów handlowych w związku z polityką gospodarczą Stanów Zjednoczonych.

ZUS zatwierdził standardy dofinansowania posiłków dla pracowników. To nowy rozdział w firmowych benefitach

W odpowiedzi na postulaty organizacji pracodawców i związków zawodowych ZUS oficjalnie zatwierdził katalog standardów dotyczących dofinansowania posiłków pracowniczych.

Z kolei dla pracowników oznacza to odczuwalne wsparcie domowego budżetu.
