Thanks to all of you who came to Tifie to donate to the Light the Lives of Others campaign. Five different Spherion Staffing offices chose local non-profit organizations to give to, donating time, services, in-kind donations and money to each organization. It truly was a group effort from each office, the Spherion management team, the organizations themselves, and Tifie Humanitarian, as the matching donor.
At the heart of all the projects are people who need help to bridge the gap to a good future – whether that be single moms who need help finding a job for their families, a safe place for families in crisis, or an alternative school for students who need additional resources. We are so proud to work with each organization and it was so fun to present checks to them.
One of the organizations was Utah Valley Refugees. Leonard Bagalwa, the Director, wrote us and said “Because of your support, Utah Valley Refugees will be able to hire one paid part-time employee this year. As a young organization, we value your support and partnership.” Such great news! We look forward to receiving more updates in upcoming months of the difference your donations made in the community.
Special thanks to all of the donors who came via Facebook, word of mouth, Instagram or partner organizations. And a big big thanks to Utah Valley Refugees, JEM Friends, YCC Family Crisis Center, Utah Food Bank, Horizonte, and People Helping People for all of the good you are doing. We’re thankful to partner with you all.
As always, all donations to Tifie Humanitarian go directly to the projects, not a penny goes to overhead. Tifie Humanitarian has been a registered 501c3 for 12 years, although its founders have had “doing good” in their DNA their whole life, which is truly why we do what we do. Our mission has been to help lift people out of poverty by giving them opportunities, tools, training or employment so that they could lift themselves out of poverty. We support the “teach a man to fish” concept, while also understanding that people need clean water, nutritious food and a place to call home while learning to fish. We try to do both, and this project with Spherion was a great mix of helping provide basic needs as well as skills for the future. Thanks to Ron Zarbock for his involvement in the Utah humanitarian community and introducing us to all of these great organizations.
