Before we get wrapped up in the season of giving, it’s important to shed light on those who give back to our community every day, and what better way to do so than to dedicate a whole month! Every November, the Naperville Area Chamber of Commerce spreads awareness for not-for-profit organizations during a month-long campaign, featuring Chamber Members and their mission within our community, on our social media channels.
This year, fifteen not-for-profit organizations participated in the campaign by submitting a social post they would like featured with the option of requesting a specific publication date. Naperville Community Television (NCTV-17), for example, took the initiative and requested to have their featured post on Sunday, November 21st, which happens to be World Television Day. Another popular day that spurred a lot of traction was #GivingTuesday, which focuses on general acts of kindness, no matter how big or small. Two companies: DuPage Pads and Loaves & Fishes Community Services, focused on connecting their companies to this global movement.
As a way of offering more insight to the Naperville community, the Chamber included an assortment of information, ranging from volunteer interests to general statistics regarding the future of not-for-profit organizations. Below, you can view the social media graphics:
We cannot express our gratitude enough for the not-for-profit organizations within the Chamber family. This past month was just a small token of our appreciation for you! We are in continuous awe of your support within the community and your determination to lend a helping hand.
