Wondering If Black Windows Would Look Nice in Your Home? Oh, They Would. Whether your house is new or old, black windows will instantly transform your home. They ’re
simple, elegant—and very popular. Not only will your house stand out, black windows will most likely raise your home’s property value, too. When you’re ready to invest, go with the best— Infinity from Marvin Fiberglass windows.
Infinity windows are engineered using Ultrex fiberglass—Ultrex is 8x stronger than vinyl. While black vinyl windows can warp due to increased heat absorption, fiberglass resists warping, holding its shape and placement over time.
Worried about your black frames fading? Not with Infinity. The color is an acrylic finish that is actually baked onto the frame, so your windows will retain their black color year after year.
So stop wondering and give us a call. We can’t wait to see how amazing your home is going to look.

WHY ONE WOMAN SAID YES TO HELPING THOUSANDS OF STRANGERS SHE’LL NEVER MEET
WHEN PEOPLE ASKING MEGAN FISCHER A QUESTION START WITH, “DID YOU EVER THINK YOU WOULD END UP …” SHE KNOWS WHAT’S COMING BEFORE THEY EVEN FINISH THEIR SENTENCE. It’s usually something, well, cheeky about spending so much time focusing on clean, healthy bottoms. Providing millions of diapers and basic personal hygiene items to those in need was not

examples contributing to diaper need. Caregivers in crisis can become desperate, keeping their babies in the same diaper for days only because they don’t know what else to do. They use things on their children that weren’t meant to be a diaper, or put used diapers back on. The emotional consequences for babies and toddlers in such situations are dire. Learning all this, Megan could not imagine, accept or ignore it. “Once you know something like this, you need to do better … you need to do something about it, you need to help people.” With a toddler son and a daughter on the way, she thought about volunteering. “I was hoping someone else would start something and I could help. After a year, it became clear—that someone was supposed to be me.” With zero knowledge of nonprofits, social services, human services or any idea how to make it happen, she rolled up her sleeves and got to work. Sweet Cheeks was born in April 2016, becoming Cincinnati’s only nonprofit diaper bank.

GIVING BACK (CONTINUED)
The goal for that first year was to distribute 60,000 diapers, but at years’ end, 153,000 had been delivered—the need in our area alone is overwhelming. Last year, Sweet Cheeks distributed an astounding 2.2 million diapers, and only 25% of the area’s need is currently being met. In 2018, period supplies began to be provided as well. Women who used to have to decide whether to buy diapers or period supplies are now getting help with both. Megan emphasizes that Sweet Cheeks isn’t set up to give diapers directly to families. Packaging and distributing that volume of diapers is a huge job, accomplished each month thanks to 400 volunteer hours. From there, items go to 52 partner agencies. Those agencies get a monthly supply from Sweet Cheeks, and during appointments, families get their supplies. Anyone can click the blue “I Need Diapers” button at the Sweet Cheeks site (SweetCheeksDiaperBank.org) to connect with a partner agency and get supplies. But often, it’s more than that. Megan shares the story of one mom who initially went to a partner agency for diapers on the advice of trusted friend— which opened the door to other services the agency offered. She built relationships there, and that led to them helping her and her children get out of a domestic violence situation. “She went for diapers, but got so much more—that’s what happens at all of our partner agencies.” “People go to get something simple and tangible,” she continues. “But they’re getting resources that the partner agencies provide—and transformation is happening.” What started as an operation with only Megan has grown to a staff of four—but this small team’s impact to area residents has been tremendous. She’ll never meet most of them, but thousands of people get to feel clean, dry and human thanks to Megan … and she’d like to do more. Potty training kits with Pull-Ups and adult incontinence supplies for seniors will go out as soon as she finds funding. And that’s where you come in. This holiday, consider checking a few items off of Megan’s Christmas wishlist. SweetCheeksDiaperBank.org

A RODI RECIPE + A LOOK INSIDE LOVELAND’S AUTHENTIC ITALIAN TREASURE
CULINARY CREATIONS
SHAKEN, NOT STIRRED NOTE BENE: FRESH FISH. Pasta made daily by hand. Neapolitan pizza (from-scratch dough, too). Tiramisu and cappuccino. Is your mouth watering yet? It should be. This isn’t your Americanized spaghetti house—this is upscale Northern Italian fare that’s both playful and approachable. This is Rodi Italian. “Every week, we’re trying to do something new and creative,” says Rob Peloni, chef and co-owner. “We get everything as fresh as possible—because at the end of the day, it’s the authentic taste I want my customers to experience.” Of course, we turned to Rob to help us usher in the holidays with decadence we could make at home—or enjoy with his traditional Italian menu. Put simply, he delivered—an espresso martini that’s perfectly delizioso. “Food is super subjective, and Italian food especially is so open-ended—I don’t have to be the best restaurant in Cincinnati, I have to be the best at what I do.” Mission accomplished, Chef.

They also host summer baking camps and classes for kids of all ages. “It’s truly one of the best parts of the job—I love seeing the excitement on our campers’ faces as they learn how to make all sorts of new things.”

GIVING AWAY AFTER A SUCCESSFUL CAMPAIGN LAST YEAR, LIFESTYLE PUBLICATIONS IS GIVING $300,000 TO RECIPIENTS IN NEED THIS CHRISTMAS SEASON AND BEYOND... AND WE NEED YOUR HELP!
THEY NEED YOUR HELP FINDING THOSE RECIPIENTS. ARTICLE ALLISON GIBESON
Last year’s giveaway campaign culminated in the distribution
PHOTOGRAPHY JANIE JONES
of $250,000 throughout the year to recipients from across the country who had various needs. When the company opened nominations, they were flooded with submissions. Community members such as judges, Anna Sarol
police officers, teachers, mentors, social workers and readers like you nominated community members who were facing hardships. As the eyes and ears of the community, these readers and stakeholders were able to help identify people who might have otherwise gone unnoticed or unrecognized. One such nominee was Anna Sarol. About six years ago Anna was paralyzed in a gymnastics accident when she was a freshman in high school, but until last year she did not have a stairlift in her home. The stairlift was made possible when Lifestyle Publications gave her family $10,000 and made sure it was installed. “Stairlifts don’t come at a feasible price, and unfortunately our insurance denied coverage,” Anna says. “I watched my community come together to help me get this equipment to my house, and words can’t explain how appreciative my family and I are.” The money for Anna’s stairlift was part of the giveaway campaign from the company during the 2020 Christmas season that benefited more than 80 recipients. Among those recipients were single mothers, families with children who were facing illnesses, individuals impacted by the loss of a job, unexpected deaths and more.

Loveland Lifestyle | December 2021
Another nominee was Kathy*, an aunt who is raising her two nephews and niece. The children came from an abusive situation involving violence, drugs, and neglect. Kathy, a single parent, worked tirelessly to provide for these children, but the family was still living in poverty despite her working seven days a week. Additionally, Kathy lost her housecleaning job during the pandemic and resorted to selling tamales to help pay the rent. When a case manager with a Big Brothers Big Sisters foster youth mentoring program heard about Lifestyle’s campaign and call for nominations, she quickly thought of Kathy.
“This funding allowed the children to have a small Christmas tree for the first time ever. Kathy was able to pay her rent and utilities for three months, and the children were able to experience a holiday season in peace without financial stressors.” CONTINUED >

INSPIRED BY (CONTINUED)
“When I shared the news that Kathy was selected and would be receiving $3,000, she cried, screamed, and was in disbelief,” the case manager said. “She immediately wanted to give back to me and the donor by providing endless tamales. This funding allowed the children to have a small Christmas tree for the first time ever. Kathy was able to pay her rent and utilities for three months, and the children were able to experience a holiday season in peace without financial stressors. They experienced Christmas like their peers, which filled them with such pride as it was something they have wished for all their lives.” The case manager says the lesson is clear – when we give back to others, we truly gain so much more in the process. She said she was filled with overwhelming joy when she saw the children’s faces filled with smiles and a Christmas tree in their home for the first time. In addition, the aunt’s expressed desire to give back to others made the giving cycle full circle. In yet another case, Emily* who worked as a janitor at a school, was a recipient. She was struggling to afford simply buying groceries for her children, let alone providing them with a fun Christmas. Before the ongoing difficulties of the pandemic even started, a tornado destroyed the school she worked at just a couple weeks before the initial shutdown in March 2020 which impacted her income as the students attended a nearby school after the building was hit. The whole town was struggling as 220 people were injured and five were killed because of the tornado, and everyone needed encouragement. Emily was incredibly surprised and grateful to receive assistance from the giveaway. The leaders of Lifestyle Publications believe God has blessed them, so they want to be a blessing and encouragement to others. With this year’s giveaway being increased to $300,000 to give away throughout the year, it’s clear this is an opportunity to change many lives in the same way Anna’s was changed. “As a 2020 recipient of the Christmas giveaway, I am forever grateful I now can access my basement independently,” Anna says. “Locating a fully accessible household in my area is nearly impossible, and living in a state that experiences tornado warnings means finding a way to get to my basement by myself is crucial. Not only this, but I also now have the option of utilizing another level of my house to hang out with friends and family.” *Names changed for privacy
