Do you volunteer?

[pkrahmer]

I know time is at a premium for most- how many of volunteer and where? I have been volunteering at a local thrift shop for years The shop supports the local high school scholarship fund. Last year we raised $52,000 in  scholarships.

I have in the past and want to start again.  I used to volunteer at a soup kitchen when I lived in NYC a few years ago.  I just went on volunteer match.com last week to see what I could do.  A lot of the places in the city is farther than I want to travel.   I found two things closer to where I live but it doesn't work with my schedule too well because I don't usually have off weekends.

I used to volunteer a LOT when I was younger.  All through high school I volunteered at the hospital every Sunday during the school year, and twice a week during the summers.  I enjoyed it immensely.  I think everyone should volunteer at some point in their life.  There's fewer greater feelings than helping.

I used to volunteer in the orphanage in my city and we did a lot of cleaning and feeding babies there. After I moved to the US I only volunteered in Scholarshop raising tuitions for students in need. I think all volunteering jobs very meaningful and inspiring.

I am not a volunteer but it doesn't mean that I do not want to help; I guess nervous because I want to get things right if I should volunteer, which leads me to feeling worthless when I can't get it done.

I am currently helping my parish with their Friday fish fries through Lent. Every Thursday and Friday (it takes preparation on Thursday afternoons to get ready for Friday nights). It's my first year doing it, and I love it. I've met many great people in the parish, I get free food and drink, and my church and its school benefits from the money we help make.

And since I can't get a job right now (for some odd reason, no one will take me), I think I'll look for more volunteer opportunities. I think I'd enjoy helping the Church more.

I knew there lots of great people who like to give back to their community.
 I have more information on how people can help charities in there local area. I don't think I can post it here. I 'm on facebook my fb email is my name pennykrahmer at gmail I'll be glad to give you the information.
In what ever way you give back to your community Keep it up and Thanks it really does make  a difference!
