Val Coombs admits that she may be a problematic collector. She is constantly on the move, driving and driving and driving, across the region to estate sales, digging through packed garages, sorting through storage units. She sometimes takes her kids on these adventures, including a recent trip to Palm Springs where she went through a garage full of dishware, while her kids swam all day.

We have family meetings every Sunday,

I love to take care of people to listen to people, says Carlini, gazing around her home from her wheelchair. I never thought I would be in this position. After dealing with severe leg problems and pain for five years and undergoing four failed surgeries to try and correct the situation Carlini had her left leg amputated in late 2024. The pain was gone, she remarks from the home she shares with two dogs, two birds and son Matteo.

Operations Director Alfonso Mendez tried to reassure them that if U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement showed up, he would rush them into the building and lock the doors. Still, they weren't convinced. "I'm very sad because everybody has the right to receive food," said Mendez, who relied on these food boxes for his wife and two small children when he fled Columbia in 2000. "It's not a good thing that they feel afraid to come."

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth accused the group of trying to "attack boy-friendly spaces" when it made the decision to become "genderless" in a leaked memo to Congress obtained by NPR. The memo, which has not yet been sent, calls for the Department of Defense to withdraw medical and logistical assistance during the group's National Jamboree, an event with over 20,000 attendees, and to bar Scout troops from military installations.

I can imagine where you might be coming from with this question. Like so many of us, you may have seen strategy processes consumed by envisioning what could be, heavy on big-picture vision but light on what it might take to get there. The resulting strategies can struggle to offer practical guidance. On the flip side, I have also seen strategy processes cling too tightly to what we're comfortable committing to, inadvertently reinforcing organizational inertia.

Polynesian Adventure Tours served as the co-title sponsor, hosting ABA leadership and group travel partners in support of Ho'ōla Nā Pua's mission to restore the lives of children who have been sexually exploited. "This engagement builds on the Association's growing leadership in the fight against human trafficking," according to a press release. "In 2024, ABA was honored with the Truckers Against Trafficking Champion Award, recognizing its dedication to raising awareness and promoting training within the motorcoach and group travel sectors.

When resources were limited and someone needed help, neighbors knew-you didn't have to ask-and the community in its own way showed up to help with what they could. From helping to take the kids to school to showing up at the hospital when someone was sick, neighbors stepped up with kindness to share their limited but valuable resources. These experiences shaped my perspective about how community stands with community by sharing resources and the forces that mobilize them: relationships.

Mastodon's creator, Eugen Rochko, is stepping down as CEO of the open source, decentralized social network and X rival, as part of the organization's transition to a non-profit structure, announced at the beginning of the year.

As part of the organization's restructuring, Mastodon will be governed by a board of directors, which today includes Twitter co-founder Biz Stone,

Over the next 20 years, an estimated $84 trillion will change hands in the U.S.; some call this the Great Wealth Transfer, others the Silver Tsunami. This wealth is held in cash and assets, but also in the estimated 2.9 million private U.S. businesses that are owned by those over 55. Many retiring business owners will look to sell their company to private equity or larger conglomerates, while others will pass their businesses on to their heirs.

If you were involved in a youth group, sports team, summer camp, or after-school program as a child, chances are you can still recall the smell of the campfire, the sound of kids playing in the courtyard, or the friendships that helped shape those memories. Maybe it was the excitement of trying something new, like being away from home for the first time, the quiet pride of belonging when you joined a team, or the trusted adult who saw your potential and encouraged you

Whitesburg is home to Appalshop, an Appalachian nonprofit dedicated to community storytelling. A beloved regional hub started in 1969, Appalshop found itself at the center of both support and recovery efforts. At the same time the nonprofit was needed by the community it served, it needed help of its own. Floodwaters swept away some of Appalshop's library, while other archived materials were severely damaged. Three years later, the nonprofit's historic building is still not inhabitable-the group is operating out of rented headquarters.

While Cindy is irreplaceable, we hope that everyone who knows and loves EFF will help us find our next leader. First and foremost, we are looking for someone who'll meet this pivotal moment in EFF's history. As authoritarian surveillance creeps around the globe and society grapples with debates over AI and other tech, EFF needs a forward-looking, strategic, and collaborative executive director to bring fresh eyes and new ideas while building on our past successes.

Since 2001, Wikipedia has been the backbone of knowledge on the internet. Hosted by the Wikimedia Foundation, it remains the only top website in the world run by a nonprofit.

Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, written to inform billions of readers without promoting a particular point of view.

Abel Barrera was homeless growing up in Redding. Gaspar, who was a classmate of Mike Barrera, was homeless and living in a car with his mother before being taken in by the Barrera family. Given this history, the Barreras in 2013 conceived of the Bernal Scream, a free show in the backyard of the family home on Bernal Road in San Jose for low-income families who couldn't afford other haunted attractions.

In addition to rotating exhibits and permanent displays inside its museum, the Concord Historical Society hosts film screenings, author readings, speakeasy pop-ups and open house tours. The nonprofit also makes home visits, Van Tassell said, where they've been invited to give neighbors and retirees private history lessons tailored to where they live. The 70-year-old's mission echoes the work of Ruth Galindo, one of the Concord Historical Society's founders and a fourth-generation resident of the city that's now preserved inside her childhood home.

You've got a mission, a plan, and a team ready to act-but explaining how change actually happens can feel like connecting dots in the dark. That's where a Theory of Change (ToC) template becomes your guide. It helps you map every step-from the resources you invest to the results you aim for-so everyone understands not just what you're doing, but why it matters. Whether you're building a new model or refining an existing one, the right ToC template adds structure, clarity, and focus.

"What we know is that a student saw a concerning post on a friend's Instagram feed and reported it to our anonymous reporting system manned at our crisis center down in Miami," Hockley said. The posts included images of firearms, ammunition, and a mapped-out plan for attacking the school. The district told ABC7 News, it was Menlo-Atherton High School. Law enforcement later detained the student and recovered weapons from their home.

The merchandise tent is always a decent place to start when assessing the commercial vulgarity associated with modern-day Ryder Cups. At Bethpage, they are flogging 24-carat gold coins 100 were available on Tuesday morning, presumably still are now with Keegan Bradley's signature attached. The price? $7,500 (5,500). There must be an assumption Ryder Cup fans leave their senses at the gates.
