Charitable giving is a great way to connect within your community and with fellow coworkers. But more importantly, charitable giving helps people that are in need for one reason or another (job loss, illness, etc.). Charitable giving by definition is the act of giving money or other items of value to charitable organizations without expecting anything in return. That’s where Circle Of Concern comes in.

Their goal is to “provide a variety of resources that empower individuals and families to become self-sufficient.” Their main focus is to provide food for struggling families, but they do more.

If you’re not, you ought to be. It’s 2018 and times have changed. Your citizens and staff want and deserve the best technologies and efficiencies. And you want to be set for any situation.

Let’s talk cloud-based technology. It has become a commonplace term, but does everyone really understand what it means and why it is so important? Simply put, to be cloud-based means that applications and assets are available to users at any time via the internet. The internet is accessible anywhere 24/7/365. With the cloud, you host a software platform via the internet. Your information is there wherever you are (if you have internet access), just like the internet.

Benefits of cloud-based technology:

• Your data is accessible from anywhere
• Retrieve all of your applications (without having to download them on multiple computers)
• Ability to communicate with staff and the community in any circumstance

Being connected, staying informed, and improving flexibility with the latest technology will help you and your community prepare, respond, and adapt for whatever comes along.
