It’s been another great month here at Charity Charge HQ. We want to share all that we’ve done with you in this November issue of The Charge in Review
Behind the Charge
We put out our first episode of Behind the Charge this month, which details the first day of our trip to New York City back in October. We had a lot of fun making this video and are looking forward to putting out more episodes soon. Preview: The next episode will show our busy day of meetings all throughout the city so be sure not to miss it! For a sneak peak of the entire trip check out our NYC in 99 Seconds video.

Introducing CCTV
In addition to starting the Behind the Charge series, we also began hosting Facebook live interviews on Fridays at 3pm CST, we’re calling it CCTV. This month we talked to Chelsea Collier from Impact Hub Austin and learned more about her journey along with her recent visit to China as part of a fellowship program. Watch the full video here.
We have scheduled many exciting guests for weeks to come so be sure to tune in at 3pm every Friday to hear amazing things from amazing people. In case you miss an episode, don’t worry! Each one will be posted on Facebook and on our YouTube channel so you can watch anytime.
Pencils of Promise Charity Chat
During our recent trip to New York City, we got a chance to visit with Pencils of Promise and learn more about their mission and projects. We filmed what we learned to pass on to you. Check out the first installment of their Charity Chats episode here. They told us so much good information that we had to split the episode into two and keep you in anticipation for the rest. Stay tuned for part 2, being released on December 8th.
Volunteering: Operation Turkey
We hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving, the Charity Charge team certainly did. As part of our ongoing efforts to volunteer in the community every month, we took the holiday as an opportunity to help those less fortunate. Our Chief of Staff, Alexandra Craig, woke up bright and early on Thanksgiving morning to volunteer at Operation Turkey deliver Thanksgiving meals, water, and clothing to 3,000 individuals in the Northeast Austin area. In total Operation Turkey delivered 40,000 meals in 5 different cities on Thanksgiving morning. It was great to be able to help out in our local community on such a festive day.
