Episode 1: Jeni Britton Bauer + St. Stephen’s Community House
On this episode of virtual Business Generating Good Summit, we host Jeni Britton Bauer, founder of the wildly popular Jeni’s Ice Cream, and Madison and Ray from St. Stephen’s Community House to explore the topic of volunteering for good.
Jeni personally engages with the practice of business for good by running a benefit corporation and working with her hands through volunteering. She speaks about and lives out her passions for social good, serving others, and impacting the community. One organization Jeni works with is the St Stephen's Community House. Jeni speaks about the personal impact the nonprofit has had on her life by partnering with her mother in a time of need as well as the multitude of benefits for the surrounding community both in the past and throughout the pandemic.
Our conversation was enriched through the contributions of Madison Massey, marketing coordinator at St Stephen's Community House, and Ray Roan, their food and nutrition center coordonator. Both spoke directly to the countless services and impact that the organization provides.
Impact is everything to a business striving to promote good. Both Jeni and St. Stephen’s Community House seek to serve the community and use their talents and resources for the betterment of others. Ray explains why this creates an incredible work atmosphere when he speaks about the energy of the staff and impact they are able to have on their consumers. St. Stephan’s is made up of such passionate individuals, that when problems arise, there are at least 10 people who are ready to jump in and help you solve it.
All three of our guests passionately highlighted the importance of community and giving back. Jeni articulates the importance of getting involved and volunteering when she says:
“It's on all of us to get out and build that and do the work of that and to participate and to learn what work is needed, and there's a lot here in Columbus”Right in our backyard and in communities all over the globe, volunteers and those willing to lend a helping hand are needed. Ray and Madison bring a unique perspective from inside a nonprofit when they describe how crucial volunteers are to the function and longevity of their organization. It would be impossible without volunteers. Businesses and individuals both play crucial roles in supporting local nonprofits through giving and volunteering whether that’s time or energy.
Through this inspiring conversation, we are left with a call to action. Let’s volunteer, let’s better our communities, and as Jeni puts it,
“let’s really do work instead of just wanting to.”Thank you for joining us on this episode of the virtual Business Generating Good Summit. Go grab yourself a scoop of Jeni’s ice cream and check out our other podcast episodes where we will continue to explore topics around volunteering for good, consuming for good, and advocating for good.
