This is what community looks like! 💚 Last week, we had the chance to celebrate Africa Day in the most meaningful way we know—by giving back. Together with Columbus City Council and INPREM Food Pantry, our volunteer team spent the day packing food boxes and stocking shelves for families across central Ohio. Africa Day (May 25) honors the founding of the African Union and the strength, unity, and resilience of its people. We saw that spirit in action right here in Columbus—neighbors helping neighbors, lifting each other up. (fb)

𝐀𝐩𝐫𝐢𝐥 𝐰𝐚𝐬 𝐆𝐥𝐨𝐛𝐚𝐥 𝐕𝐨𝐥𝐮𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐞𝐫 𝐌𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐡—𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐢𝐭 𝐰𝐚𝐬 𝐁𝐈𝐆. 💥 From 𝟓,𝟎𝟎𝟎 𝐯𝐨𝐥𝐮𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐞𝐫 𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐬 across 𝟗𝟎 𝐧𝐨𝐧𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐟𝐢𝐭𝐬 to our annual Volunteer Appreciation Celebration (shoutout to hosts Monica Day + Andrew Levitt 💃🕺), our community showed up in full force. We even capped the month with the Columbus City Council announcing a new investment in Besa’s work. 🙌 A huge thank you to our GVM funding partners who helped make it all possible: Bath & Body Works, City of Columbus Department of Development, and Installed Building Products Foundation—along with so many others powering this work.
