Host Jeremy C. Park talks with Ann Jarvis, Executive Director of USO Fort Campbell/Nashville, who discusses the organization's 85-year history of supporting military service members and their families through various programs and events. As a nonprofit, the organization provides morale-boosting activities and connects service members to resources and nonprofit partners through their 250 global locations, including their second-largest facility at Fort Campbell, which serves 400-500 service members daily. Ann, who leads a USO Fort Campbell/Nashville staff of five with numerous volunteers, oversees support across Kentucky, Tennessee, and Arkansas, with key centers at Fort Campbell, Nashville, and Little Rock. The organization runs various programs including care packages for deploying and returning service members, therapy dog visits, and music room access for service members, while also focusing on military youth with initiatives like the Month of the Military Child in April, which includes events like a military kid art show, a Military Kids Ball, and a mascot salute featuring corporate mascots. Ann discusses Military Appreciation Month and Military Spouse Appreciation Day in May, and America 250 in July. She highlights the Coffee Connections program, a monthly event for military spouses to build community and learn about resources. Ann mentions plans for a 5K run in Nashville to raise funds, encouraging businesses and individuals to get involved. Ann then highlights other USO programs, including Stuff the Trucks events with Kroger in Clarksville and Nashville, where community members can donate non-perishable items for service members. She details two types of care packages: "bye-bye bags" for deploying service members, which include small toiletries and non-perishable snacks (excluding chips), and larger "welcome home" bags containing essentials like toilet paper, and more substantial food items, like noodles, tuna, and utensils for service members returning at odd hours. Ann shares some of her personal experience serving overseas, emphasizing the organization's impact on military families. She encourages individuals to volunteer by visiting volunteers.uso.org, highlighting opportunities in various locations including Nashville, Fort Campbell, Little Rock, and Knoxville. Ann shares her own journey from volunteer to full-time employee, emphasizing the vital role of volunteers in supporting the USO's programs and events. She highlights the USO's need for in-kind donations and financial contributions to support their programs, and encourages viewers to visit their website for more information on how to get involved.

In this conversation, host Julie DeNofa sits down with Kathy Posey, Paige Butler, and Kim Robbins, three inspiring women serving on the Montgomery County Overdose Prevention Endeavor Board (M-COPE) Kathy and Kim, Co-Founders of M-COPE, share their personal stories of losing a child to addiction and how, after four moms met through the GRASP grief group ( Grief Recovery After Substance Passing) after losing their children to accidental overdose, they realized the need for spreading awareness around the disease of addiction.  Paige also shares her journey through a different perspective of loving a child who is now in recovery from substance use disorder. With their stories, Kathy, Paige, and Kim are now turning their pain into purpose in helping other families heal.  The mission at M-COPE is to collaborate with individuals, communities, schools, and organizations to raise awareness about substance use disorder and the alarming rise in overdose and drug-related deaths in Montgomery County and surrounding areas. Their efforts are grounded in four key pillars: education, awareness, prevention, and remembrance.   Through this approach, they shine a light on the growing drug crisis, work to end the stigma surrounding substance use, and advocate for those currently in need of support as well as for those who can no longer speak for themselves.  Topics Discussed: Advice for parents and families learning to navigate grief after overdose loss The importance of remembering loved ones beyond their addiction Recognizing that everyone grieves differently and giving others more grace Understanding emotional triggers and grief waves after loss Why volunteer-driven organizations play a critical role in community recovery How overdose awareness and prevention efforts are helping communities — CHAPTERS:  00:00 Purpose From Pain - Introduction to MCOPE 03:33 Meet Kathy Posey, Kim Robbins, and Paige Bulter 08:04 What M-Cope is and the Four Pillars: Awareness, Prevention, Education, and Rememberance 11:06 Volunteering, Community Partners, and Supporting Newly Bereaved 15:39 Grief Advice For Families: Connection, Caregiving, Healing, and Support  23:10 Recognizing Grief Waves and Triggers and Finding Joy Again 28:47 Honoring Loved Ones Who Lost Their Lives to Addiction 30:39 The Hope of Recovery  33:52 M-COPE Outreach through Blessing Bags, Narcan Outreach, Scholarships And Community Impact 39:11 Recovery Community Resources — Connect with M-Cope online:  Website: https://mcope.org/  Scholarship: https://mcope.org/scholarship/  Volunteer Opportunities: https://mcope.org/support/#volunteer  Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/mocope/?ref=share&mibextid=wwXIfr&rdid=SDyLMs2NFChqDsne&share_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Fshare%2Fg%2F1DCtwm4WSp%2F%3Fmibextid%3DwwXIfr — Connect with PRC on Social: IG: https://www.instagram.com/positiverecoverycenters  FB: https://www.facebook.com/PositiveRecoveryCenters  TT: https://www.tiktok.com/@positiverecoverycenter  LI: https://www.linkedin.com/company/positiverecoverycenters  YT: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC4JcDF1gjlYch4V4iBbCgZg Want even more expert insights and support on the recovery journey?

Guest: Samira Davis, United Cajun NavyWhen disaster strikes, it's often the people on the ground — not the headlines — who make the biggest difference. During Hurricane Florence, while historic floods swallowed neighborhoods across the Carolinas, Samira Davis was among those who stepped up. As a volunteer with the United Cajun Navy, she helped coordinate relief for families, pets, and even horses — filling the gaps between official response and human need. In this episode, we hear her firsthand account of what it's like to navigate chaos and compassion side by side, the lessons she's carried from that experience, and how grassroots responders are reshaping what disaster recovery looks like.CHAPTERS00:00 The Human Impact of Disaster Response03:03 Becoming a Weather Geek: Personal Journeys06:16 The Role of Grassroots Organizations in Disaster Relief09:02 The United Cajun Navy: A New Era of Response11:55 Navigating Challenges in Disaster Recovery14:46 BREAK 114:54 The Importance of Preparedness and Community18:06 Animal Rescue in Disaster Situations21:09 The Long-Term Effects of Natural Disasters23:56 Getting Involved: How to Help27:04 The Power of Community and Collaboration27:40 BREAK 200:27:41 Real Estate Lessons from Disasters00:31:28 Collective Action and Preparedness00:34:54 Evolving Strategies in Disaster Relief00:37:12 Conclusion and Call to ActionSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

SummaryIn this episode of Service Evolution, Jim Robinson is joined by Debi Kensell from the Restaurant Facility Management Association (RFMA) to dive deep into the powerful spirit of giving embodied by the RFMA Gives initiative. Debi shares the heartfelt origins of RFMA Gives, spotlighting how the board's vision in 2010 transformed a traditional member organization into a force for good—dedicated to leaving every host city better than they found it after each annual conference.Throughout the conversation, Debi and Jim recount moving stories from past projects, from supporting addiction recovery centers to uplifting organizations like soup kitchens and community-focused cafes. Debi emphasizes how the program has grown over seventeen years, not just enhancing facilities for those in need but also forging meaningful connections among volunteers, vendors, and restaurateurs. The conversation highlights how competitors within the industry set aside rivalry to work side by side, adding another dimension to the event's spirit of collaboration and community.Listeners learn about the tangible impact volunteer efforts have, both on local organizations and on participants themselves, who often walk away deeply enriched. The episode also introduces exciting new developments, such as the donation of a dedicated trailer to streamline tools and resources for future projects, demonstrating the ongoing innovation and generosity within the RFMA network.

It takes a village to protect the ocean even though ocean conservation can sometimes feel lonely. Leaning on your community can help to inspire you to take more action for the sea. In this episode of the "How to Protect the Ocean" podcast, host Andrew Luan emphasizes the vital role of community in ocean conservation efforts. He discusses how protecting the ocean can feel overwhelming for individuals, especially when faced with complex issues like climate change, overfishing, and plastic pollution. However, community involvement can transform this daunting task into a collective effort, providing support, knowledge, and motivation. Key points include: Shared Knowledge: Communities offer access to valuable resources and experiences. Learning from others who have successfully navigated local challenges can enhance individual effectiveness in advocacy. Accountability and Motivation: Being part of a group fosters accountability. When individuals work alongside others, they are less likely to give up, as they can draw inspiration from each other's successes. Amplifying Voices: A united community can significantly amplify individual voices. Collective action, such as signing petitions or attending public meetings, can lead to substantial changes that one person alone might not achieve. Finding Your Community: Andrew encourages listeners to seek out local organizations, clubs, and online groups focused on ocean conservation. Engaging actively and bringing value to these communities is essential for personal growth and collective impact. Upcoming Online Community: Andrew announces the launch of a new online community aimed at supporting individuals in becoming better advocates for the ocean. This platform will provide opportunities for connection, learning, and action. Overall, the episode highlights that protecting the ocean is a shared responsibility that thrives in a supportive community, where individuals can find purpose, strength, and inspiration to continue their efforts despite challenges.
