Simple Things DC- Starting A Mobile Food Bank

Many people that live in Washington, DC does not have reliable transportation to get donated food at food banks. Bags or boxes provided can be heavy and too much to carry on buses.
I am starting a mobile food bank for at-risk and undeserved residents to have healthy food choices and it will be convenient. Recently I had a great experience with Food Banks and it's definitely a great need across the nation.

Seeking donations and volunteers right now is essential and important to get started in a needy time.
People do eat in silence and it's unacceptable in today's society.

Finding A Job

People can find jobs by asking family, friends, neighbors, church members and others. Slow progress is better than no progress. Creating a resume website is a great way to get started or a blog. Job seekers that have been out of work for many years have to upgrade their current skills or learn a new course and add to their resumes and as long as your  making an effort don't get too discouraged you may have to restart as a consultant.

Here are some jobsites to post resumes.

Also, Social Networking Sites are hiring mainly for technology jobs. Click on their careers tab.
Freelance sites have many job openings for tech and other positions to keep their website upgraded.

How To Hire Yourself

Hiring yourself can be rewarding in the field of your choice by becoming a consultant and assisting solopreneurs and companies. Contracting with the government is phenomenal by registering your business name at a local business center that distribute licenses and get basic business insurance at www.Hiscox.com

Contact your local Procurement office by a GOOGLE SEARCH....Schedule an orientation time if required and then they'll be a process to moving forward to sell your products or services to the government.

In addition, have a plan to promote yourself via social networking sites, website, blogs, video and other ways to get the word out about your venture.

Working Hard For The Money (Social Security)

Many people work hard for the money and let no one get in their way. This is a great concept and a lot of people should adopt this way of thinking and living. Our young people of today have not reach their full potential of working hard. Everything will not come free, quick, and easy for most people.

People are looking forward to the retirement age that starts at 62 and ends at 70 after these lovely ages you will not increase anymore interest towards your retirement funds. If planning to have social security for income you must work at leat 10 years before you're eligible and it doesn't have to be ten straight years.

The Social Security Administration determines eligibility with a system of credits. Every year worked you will earn four credits and then you will need 40 credits at retirment age to qualify.
 Isn't This Swell?! ;-)

Indeed, having alternative resources to supplement for food, bills, rent, and ecetera are grand.
We all have to plan for a rainy day and never know when a storm is coming or leaving and you usually get a statement in the mail of how many credits you've earned.

The Importance Of Life, Disability, And Fire Insurance

Life Insurance:
Indeed, having loved ones to care for is necessary and departing this life will be sad and sometimes people deaths are sudden without warning. Thinking of family members struggling to pay for funeral costs can be daunting. There are many insurance companies that offer term life insurance.

1. www.gerberlife.com (Kids and Adults)

2. www.metlife.com

3. www.statefarm.com

Disability Insurance:
Disability Insurance is a great way to secure people if they get hurt at work, especially very dangerous jobs like being a Construction Worker, Mining, Electrician, Driving, Roofing, Painting, Fire Fighters, Police Officers, Office Workers and Others.
4. www.Aflac.com
5. www.Metlife.com

Scenario: Disability Story

Nicole Dark is a construction worker for Basser Construction in Washington, D.C, she fell backwards and hurt her back from falling on the concrete. Now Nicole is in the hospital for three weeks and she is trying to contact family and friends to see if anyone can let her borrow money to pay her rent and bills.

If Nicole had disability insurance which is effective in a few days of registering and making on time payments, Nicole could've paid her own bills on time after receiving the disability check.

Fire Insurance:
A fire can breakout at anytime and can be deadly. There are still many residents without a fire alarm and a fire extinguisher in their homes and this is not good. Making a listing of your valuables is good and placed in a fire proof and water resistance safe to preserve your documents. This is why I like the Red Cross www.redcross.org because they are right on time when you need them from a disaster and will place you in a hotel for a few days and you can ask family or friends for temporary shelter.

How To Have Money?

Throughout the years I was told from a family member that buying U.S. Saving Bonds are great to have for long term and I did buy a few and financial hardship came along and I cashed them before my bonds matured in 5, 10, 15 or 20 years, lesson learned. This is a great way to have cash in the long run.

Why Are People Poor?

Is being poor a state of mind? Well, it depends on who you're asking and why would anyone care?
There is a saying, "Life Is What You Make It", sometimes this is easier said than done because if you're depending on others to help out financially, goals can be dragged out. Indeed, it's best to try achieving tasks on your own without interruption. Building confidence is a top priority to prosper.

Finding Your Niche:
Many people choose to stay at home with their kids, not having an income can hurt the family but if other family members are working than life is manageable. Parents stay home if they don't trust anyone to watch their children, conflict of scheduling activities or can't afford to pay a babysitter. Nevertheless, this is why some parents look for legitimate work at home jobs and start researching on how to start a business.
Parents and single adults result to public assistance and nonprofits for help as their last alternatives.

Structural Differences:
In other countries they don't have welfare and get a lot of help and depending on their demographic areas, different governments and some with no government structure in place and everyday is haywire and critically a burden and worrisome for people.

Do People Steal Because They're Poor?
Is it because they don't have anything? or They're too lazy to search for employment?
What about people who have decent paying jobs and steal or involved in other illegal activities?
Is it an adrenaline rush, peer pressure or arrogance?

How To Start A Nonprofit?

Starting a nonprofit is rewarding in serving a mission and 100 percent dedication in assisting participants.

9 Essential Ways To Get Started:

1. Create a nonprofit name

2. Register the name at a local business center that distributes business licenses. It usually  costs $100 or less for a nonprofit name.

3. Then you go to www.irs.gov and search for starting a charity to download the 1023 Application to complete and mail to the IRS.

4. Selecting at least three Board Members (VOLUNTEERS) is the minimum that is required and you must create a mission statement (What is your nonprofit about?) Example: To establish the youth inability to rise above poverty and become productive citizens in society and continuation of their education.

5. If all your information is correct to be mailed to the IRS and they don't have to send it back to you for more data then it usually takes about 30-45 days to received an approval letter from the IRS stating that you have been approved to be a 501 (c) (3) tax exempt (from paying taxes) entity.

6. It will be a challenge to keep a nonprofit afloat and maintain a lifetime of sustainability with maintaining a balanced budget with a positive cash flow (money coming in and money going out).

7.  Nevertheless, creating a strategic fundraising plan and taking action on the ideas is life or death of your nonprofit.

8. There are a few books on Fundraising Ideas that is helpful.

9. Applying to as many foundations as you like and hoping to get selected is encouraging and self-confidence. In addition to be eligible to apply for grants through foundations you can register with
www.grants.gov, individual donors, and you can sell products or services like t-shirts, pens, pencils, books and other ideas.
