We welcome media coverage that highlights the importance of serving our neighbors in need. To ensure that everyone feels respected and protected, we ask that you follow these guidelines:

 

Preserve Dignity and Privacy

Please avoid capturing full facial images of individuals receiving services. This protects their dignity and personal privacy during vulnerable moments.

​

Focus on the Mission 

We encourage you to take photos and footage that showcase the optimistic spirit of the event, such as volunteers serving, donations being collected, and the overall atmosphere of compassion and community.

​

Do Not Capture Identifiable Participants

Do not take close-up or identifiable photos or videos of individuals receiving services. You may safely capture pictures from behind, silhouettes, or of hands and activities to highlight participation and the spirit of the event without revealing identities.

 

Use Discretion and Sensitivity

Many of our neighbors are experiencing challenging circumstances. We ask that all filming and photography be approached with care, gentleness, and respect.
