The Weekly Beacon: Small ways to help the community! (Oct 5)

General Support / by MeilleureAmie

...See more Welcome to this week's Community Beacon [https://www.7cups.com/forum/generalsupport/CommunitySpace_2539/TheWeeklyBeaconSmallwaystohelpthecommunity_377289/?p=2]! For those who might be new to this initiative, The Weekly Beacon is our new tradition in which we share simple, small ways you can lend a hand in the community. The heart of 7 Cups has always been the people in it, and you do not need official badges, special training, or hours of free time to make a difference in someone else's day. 🌟 The Recognition Board 🌟 Every day you reply to these weekly threads to let us know you completed one of the tasks, you earn a star. You can earn up to 7 each week for each day of the week (1 day = 1 star). Once you earn 30 stars, you will receive the exclusive "All for one" badge! Congratulations to everyone who has earned stars for their acts of community spirit! @YourCaringConfidant - 7 > 194 ⭐ @Amanda84 - 7 > 162 ⭐ @Ivy229 - 7 > 144 ⭐ @fossilfellow - 7 > 131 ⭐ @Magicpawsoffuture - 7 > 116 ⭐ @Diinnaa - 7 > 122 ⭐ @Minimum00 - 7 > 88 ⭐ @MentalHealthMatters01 - 4 > 78 ⭐ @MeilleureAmie - 4 > 78 ⭐ @stormieandpaws - 3 > 62 ⭐ @AffyAvo - 2 > 60 ⭐ @ACozyBunny - 1 > 52 ⭐ @SkilledChatter - 3 > 34 ⭐ @mytwistedsoul - 3 > 30 ⭐ @Sunisshiningandsoareyou - 2 > 27 ⭐ @QuietWillow00 - 7 > 24 ⭐ @Hermione010 - 7 > 15 ⭐ @Mooniey - 1 > 12 ⭐ @trueconfidant123 - 148 ⭐ @SparkyGizmo - 101 ⭐ @TheGeminiInMe - 62 ⭐ @sereneMango2512 - 43 ⭐ @AReineRose - 38 ⭐ @AsherTree - 35 ⭐ @Luminity125 - 17 ⭐ @cheerfulKiwi1776 - 16 ⭐ @ABoxofChocolates2 - 9 ⭐ @Rebekah - 8 ⭐ @Joyfulflowers - 8 ⭐ @IvoryNotes - 6 ⭐ @funnyAvocado3000 - 5 ⭐ @quietPlace4271 - 4 ⭐ @Sharing3312 - 2 ⭐ @Ednamius - 1 ⭐ @wuxily - 1 ⭐ @discreetPlace4219 - 1 ⭐ @DubstepDadT - 1 ⭐ If any numbers are off, feel free to let me know! ------------------------- 💙 World Mental Health Day Challenge: +2 ⭐ (Completely Optional) Oct 10 is World Mental Health Day!
