Virtual volunteering via Impact Connect makes it safe and easy to connect with people and communities who have plans or dreams to be realized.

It’s interesting to think of the time and effort we put behind cherishing and preserving and restoring (and appreciating!) artwork in museums and private collections. Meanwhile, our precious elderly are suffering from isolation, loneliness and neglect. And their value to us is priceless. Certainly, the pandemic has made a bad situation worse for seniors. The [...]
Here we are over a year later and still find ourselves gripped by the hands of a pandemic. By now, most of us have experienced losses and adapted to a new normal that has stretched beyond all expectation. Leaving behind the beating hearts of many wondering, when will this ever end? The world events that [...]
February is the month that reminds us to love one another and express that love. It invites to show others we love and appreciate them, in our personal/professional lives, but also to the community at large. The only question that remains is how we will answer the call?

We all know the story. We make grandiose plans to change our lives and achieve new goals when the ball drops on the New Year and despite our best efforts these New Year’s dreams go unrealized. According to the University of Scranton around 80% of people who make New Year’s resolutions fail to achieve them. [...]
Well, we did it. We have managed to make it through one of the strangest and possibly most challenging years we have yet to face as a collective humanity. As we approach the final days of 2020, we are met with the opportunity to reflect and discern on how to best move forward into the [...]
Kids are so great at counting. They still tell you their age in fractions. “I’ll be 5-and-a-half tomorrow,” you’ll hear them say. They are masters of anticipation. “Christmas will be here in only six more sleeps.” Some even “track” Santa on the Radar. Somewhere along the line, we lose this notion as we get older [...]
