Photography, Videography, and Ethical Storytelling Guidelines
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.
Check in With Staff
Our team is happy to guide media representatives to the most suitable locations for photos or interviews.
Thank you for helping us maintain a safe and respectful environment where everyone feels
seen, valued, and treated with compassion.
