Beyond Belief Network teams didn’t slow down one bit in December!

The December Picture of the Month is from the day Sunday Assembly Los Angeles (SALA) delivered its Giving Tree gifts to families in need. In this picture, one SALA member holds a child as the child’s mother gets a tutorial on using a donated laptop. Bonus points for the Sunday Assembly three-part motto featuring in the picture! As these SALA members know, helping often is a big part of living better.

Austin Humanists at Work (ATXHAW) is our December Team of the Month in recognition of several fantastic December events that capped off a wonderful year of service to the Austin community. Month after month this year, ATXHAW set records for the number of items they were able to collect for their monthly giveaways. In December, ATXHAW volunteers were able to collect 7,259 items – a new record by over 1,900 items. ATXHAW also had an excellent turnout at its “Gettin’ Knotty” crafts group that knits and crochets washcloths and scarves to be handed out at the monthly giveaway. At the giveaway itself, over 70 ATXHAW volunteers gathered under a bridge in downtown Austin to hand out community donations to those in need. ATXHAW also arranged to serve turkey, tamales, and various sides. Over 100 Austin residents in need showed up to get food and supplies.
