Have You Volunteered Lately?
When is the last time you volunteered to do some good in your community? If it’s been awhile, it is time to seek out an organization that could use your help.
If you do have a cause you like to donate to… good for you! Do you donate money or do you volunteer your time and talents? Sending a check may make you feel good for a moment, but imagine what it would feel like to actually donate some of your time. Yes, your precious time!
In our community we have a nonprofit foundation that was put together by local musicians. Once or twice a year they put together a musical benefit with a bunch of bands for someone in the community that has a medical concern.
I gladly volunteer my time as an emcee. Seeing the looks on the faces of the benefit’s recipients is so much more rewarding than the impersonal act of just writing out a check. And it’s FUN!
What I’m trying to share with you is, that if you can find an organization in your area that would benefit from any of your skills… Volunteer!
You get some time out of your usual routine and you will have the warm and fuzzy feelings that come with doing good for someone who really needs your help.
There are many nonprofit organizations that have events at various times of the year that directly benefit people in your local community.
Do a Google search and find out who in your community would benefit from your time and talents.
There is no better way to share your prosperity… Share your time and talents to help someone in your area sometime soon.
Happy Sharing,
