Hands down, getting involved in your community is extremely rewarding in the sense that you
A- feel accomplished because you were able to selflessly help others around you without being told to
B- learn many skills that come in handy when you least expect it
C- create an impact in your town, city, state, and even country... you are one step closer to changing the world
This may seem impossible because, you might be thinking, how can I start volunteering? I'm here to tell you its as simple as one phone call. One Google or even Facebook search. In your community there are opportunities everywhere! My personals favorites have been creating a team for Relay for Life, I do it every year with my friends. Not only are we able to make money for an amazing cause but we have lots of fun doing it. Another thing I love to do, is volunteering at assisted living community's. In the past I've cooked meals, organized events, played games with the residents, held dance shows, and so much more. It can even be as simple as helping someone carry grocery's to their car. No act goes unnoticed, and the rewarding feeling you get after is amazing. One of the most beneficial things to do is donating to a drive of some sort. It may be a toy, food, clothing, or even sock, drive. Local churches, food pantry's, hospitals, and schools, are constantly on the lookout for these items. You can even create your own drive! Other ways include reposting a Go-Fund- Me on your social media to raise awareness to causes close to your heart. Its a simple as one click of a button! I encourage everyone to get started, every little act changes the world one step at a time!
