kerryrivera+FollowLocal credit unions unite to fight hungerNearly two tons of food just made its way to Philabundance, thanks to a team effort by TruMark Financial and 11 other local credit unions. Along with $56,200 in donations, this big boost comes at a crucial time—summer, when many kids lose access to school meals and food pantries face higher demand. Philabundance supports over 135,000 people every week, so these donations go a long way in keeping shelves stocked for families, seniors, and kids across our region. What other ways can our community come together to support neighbors facing food insecurity? #Safety #CommunityImpact #FightHunger00Share

peterfoster+FollowCancer Alley Plant Shuts Down—What’s Next?Big news from Louisiana: a synthetic rubber plant, long accused of polluting a mostly Black community, just hit pause—maybe for good. The company says it’s just too expensive to clean up its act, especially with demand for wetsuits and laptop sleeves (yep, that’s what they make) dropping. For locals, it means cleaner air, but also questions about jobs and what comes next. Sometimes, the real cost of cheap stuff is paid by the neighbors. #CleanAir #CommunityImpact #MoneyMoves #BusinessNews #LifeHacks #Business00Share
Jennifer Reyes+FollowCement Factory in a Rainforest? Yikes!Did you hear about the new cement factory popping up right in Cambodia’s last big rainforest? Locals are fuming because the government promised no more mining there, but now a huge chunk of Prey Lang is being cleared for cement. This isn’t just bad for the trees—families who rely on the forest could lose their homes and clean water, while rich investors cash in. Makes you wonder who these projects really help, right? #Deforestation #Cambodia #EcoNews #CommunityImpact #MoneyTalk #Business00Share
Jordan Williams+FollowIs Boycotting Target Hurting Black Businesses?So, here’s the tea: some folks are boycotting Target to protest its rollback on diversity efforts, hoping to flex the power of the Black dollar. But it’s not all wins—Black-owned brands and local vendors who finally got shelf space at Target are feeling the pinch, and some workers are even losing hours. It’s a classic catch-22: trying to make a statement, but also risking the very progress you’re fighting for. Sometimes, shopping local isn’t as simple as it sounds! #MoneyMoves #ShopSmart #CommunityImpact #BlackBusiness #TargetBoycott #Shopping80Share
