Great question Jodi! The first things that come to mind for me are: -Donating coworking memberships to local nonprofits for fundraising auctions (not really the most meaningful, but has been helpful to folks in the past) -Collecting toys and other Christmas gifts for an Adopt-A-Family program around the holidays (which was wildly successful!)
Alexandra, our Community Cultivator, is currently reaching out to the members to see if they wanted to participate as a group in a Habitat for Humanity building day or something along those lines. I'll keep you posted as to how that goes. It's all little stuff, but I thought I'd mention it! Looking forward to hearing more about what other spaces do.
