November is a time of gratitude. It’s also a month dedicated to raising awareness for a wide range of causes that highlight the diverse challenges faced by people around the world. From supporting veterans to encouraging financial literacy, November reminds us of the importance of community and the power of giving. At U.S. Eagle, where People Mean More, we’re dedicated to supporting causes that uplift our members and our communities.
Here’s a look at some important November causes and ways you can get involved:
National Native American Heritage Month
November celebrates the history, culture, and contributions of Native American communities. It’s an opportunity to learn more about Indigenous history, appreciate Native American traditions, and support Native communities across the U.S.
How to Get Involved: Attend local cultural events, support Native American-owned businesses, or donate to organizations dedicated to Indigenous rights and education.
Movember: Men’s Health Awareness Month
Movember is a movement focused on raising awareness around men’s health issues, including prostate and testicular cancer, mental health, and suicide prevention. The aim is to encourage men to take charge of their health, engage in regular check-ups, and seek support when needed.
How to Get Involved: Grow a mustache to spark conversations, donate to men’s health organizations, or participate in a Movember event. Financial stress can contribute to mental health issues.
National Homeless Youth Awareness Month
Homelessness is an especially vulnerable state for youth, who face unique risks and challenges without stable housing. November is a time to bring attention to the struggles of homeless youth and support the services that provide them with safety, shelter, and resources for a brighter future.
How to Get Involved: Consider donating to local shelters, volunteering your time, or supporting programs that work to break the cycle of youth homelessness, like our community partner New Day. U.S. Eagle proudly supports initiatives that provide shelter and resources to those in need, strengthening our communities and helping our youth achieve stability and opportunity.
Hunger and Homelessness Awareness Week (November 13-21)
Held the week before Thanksgiving, this awareness week shines a light on the challenges faced by individuals who lack access to food and housing. With inflation affecting food and housing costs, many are struggling to meet basic needs. Hunger and Homelessness Awareness Week is a reminder to show compassion and provide support.
How to Get Involved: Volunteer at food pantries, like Rio Grande Food Project, donate to organizations fighting hunger and homelessness, or simply share information to raise awareness. U.S. Eagle encourages community engagement and giving back, and we’re committed to supporting initiatives that provide relief and resources to those facing hardships.
We invite you to join us in observing these November causes, whether through volunteering, learning, or simply spreading awareness. Together, we can make a difference that embodies the spirit of the season—gratitude, giving, and connection.
As we dive into the holiday season, it’s easy to get wrapped up in the excitement of gift shopping, travel plans, and seasonal festivities. But amidst the joy, it’s also a time when scammers ramp up their efforts to trick consumers.
