At Cloud Managed Network (CMN) and Umbrella, we truly believe in the power of coming together to make a difference. This past holiday season, our team embraced the spirit of generosity through the Holiday Donation Drive, proudly supporting the Richmond Hill Toy Drive.
Over 38 of our amazing team members came together, donating more than 45 toys. These gifts weren’t just items—they were tokens of love, laughter, and hope for children in our community. Knowing we could bring smiles to so many little faces filled our hearts with gratitude and reminded us of the incredible joy that comes from giving back.
A Season of Meaningful Gifting
Beyond the toy drive, we wanted to celebrate our holiday with deeper meaning. Last year, we partnered with Oxfam, a global organization dedicated to fighting poverty and inequality, with a particular focus on empowering women. Together, we made the gifting season a time to truly give.
Oxfam’s work spans three critical areas:
- Humanitarian Response: Providing emergency aid to those affected by disasters and conflict.
- Long-Term Development: Supporting projects that empower people to assert their rights and build better lives.
- Advocacy & Campaigning: Fighting to change the systemic issues that perpetuate poverty and inequality.
Cloud Managed Network’s Supporting Causes That Speak to the Heart
We invited our clients to join us in this mission of giving. They selected causes close to their hearts, and we made donations on their behalf. Here’s a glimpse of the meaningful initiatives we supported:
- Girls in School: Education is a powerful tool for change. By supporting this cause, we helped ensure more girls have access to education, empowering them to live healthier, more prosperous lives and break cycles of poverty for their families and communities.
- Safe Refuge for Women: This initiative provides immediate aid during emergencies and long-term support to help women escape poverty and build a better future.
- Goat Gifts: Sometimes, a small act can create a big impact. A single goat can provide milk for nutrition and income opportunities for families, making it a life-changing gift.
- Holiday Flock: Chickens, goats, and sheep—these humble animals bring sustainable food security and economic stability to families in need, empowering them to create better futures.
Giving Back: A Year-Round Commitment
At CMN and Umbrella, giving back isn’t limited to the holidays—it’s part of who we are. Throughout the year, we proudly support food banks and initiatives that address pressing local needs. Whether it’s volunteering our time or contributing resources, our team is deeply committed to strengthening our community.
Supporting people is at the core of our values, and making a positive impact on our community brings us immense joy. We are proud of our incredible team and clients who happily engage with and embrace these initiatives. Together, we’re creating a ripple of kindness and hope that uplifts lives and creates connections.
