I realized that many of us have items sitting around our house that we no longer use and families that have nothing. I created a way for people to find others by zipcode in order to pass on items to help families in need. The families that need help, create a profile and list their individual needs for their family. Don't most of us have clothes and toys that our children have outgrown? Wouldn't you like to meet the family you are helping. Get your friends, family, and children in …

As a part of the Orange County Time Bank you can be rewarded for doing what you love.  You earn a time hour or t …

We've worked as consultants to nonprofit agencies for years. It seems to us that now, more than ever, nonprofits need help -- especially when it comes to marketing and communications-- but often don't have the resources to hire staff or consultants like us.

Our original idea was to offer practical, how-to information for nonprofits in simple, downloadab …

We stand next to each other in line at Abbots Habit and Intelligentsia. We pass on the street. You're working on something that I might find very interesting, and maybe there's something I could do to help. And perhaps vice versa. But we walk on, not connecting, missing an opportunity. But we're neighbors, and we can do better than that. So now...we need to connect. Entrepreneurs and the entrepreneurially-minded of Venice: let's have a drink. Tell us what you're working on, why you're passiona …
