Volunteering for My Child’s School and a Local Food Charity
Setting an Example
“I’m inspired to volunteer to set an example to my child that helping others is an essential part of being a productive member of society. If you can, you should.”
Rewards and Encouragement
“It gives me an abundance of rewards, just to see the small differences it makes, and sometimes big differences. Do it! Don’t think about it. It’s not as much time as you think it would be. Think about how much time we spend on social media, then take an hour or two out of that per week. You won’t regret it.”
Importance of Volunteering
“There are fewer and fewer people volunteering nowadays. We all benefit in one way or another from the work of volunteers and we do owe it to ourselves and others to give back. It actually boosts my mental health doing volunteer work.”
