This month, help those most vulnerable through some of these channels: reach out to seniors, loved ones and friends who may not have enough groceries; support a small business through the purchase of a gift card for future use; send a monetary donation to a local food pantry. Every little bit helps! #coronavirus #givingback #neighborhood #community #economy #virus #helpothers #viewpointsradio
ICYMI - Elizabeth Keathley (pictured here) went to the DMV and was asked if she'd like to register to vote. New to this country and unfamiliar with her rights, she unknowingly registered. However, she wasn't an American citizen and the employee wasn't allowed to ask or require proof that she was a citizen. So, a few weeks later, she received her registration and voted. However, this one act led to eight years of possible deportation back to the Philippines and a lengthy legal fight for her and her family. We covered her harrowing story and where she is today. Listen on viewpointsradio.org or wherever you listen to podcasts. The story's titled 'Voter Error'.
This Sunday on Viewpoints - We speak to two badass women, Elif Yamangil @plentysweet200 and Jennifer Tyler Lee @jennifertylerlee, about the pitfalls of sugar and getting creative with healthy, low-sugar recipes that don't taste like soggy cardboard. ▪️Pictured here: Some of Elif's creations 🍰🍪🍩 from her baking blog, Plenty Sweet. First picture is vegan raspberry cheesecake bars that go for 122 calories and 7 grams of sugar per serving. #lowsugar #cutsugar #lowsugardiet #lowsugarlifestyle #plentysweet200 #plentysweetlife #halfthesugarallthelove #halfthesugarbook #viewpointsradio #baking #bakinggoals #diabetes #healthishappiness #healthylifestyle #momlife

We know MLK day was on Monday, but that doesn't mean his words aren't applicable every day of the year. How are you giving back in 2020? It doesn't have to be in the form of a monetary donation, but can mean volunteering at a local food pantry, homeless shelter, school, library or somewhere else you enjoy. #getinvolved ▪️▪️▪️ #mlkday #mlkquotes #2020goals #2020 #mlkweek #givingback #giveback #volunteering #communityfirst #viewpointsradio #helpingothers #alphaphiomega
