It is not just a one person thing it is a family thing !

If you are looking for a single project or something to fill those empty day's please consider volunteering, there are many ways to help.

  There is nothing like teaching your kids to be part of a community and sharing there gifts

The smile you can give a elderly person by just stopping by the nursing home to say hello and introduce yourself is a wonderful feeling and most would really enjoy seeing the kids along with you!

The 4-H program is near and dear to my heart and it is not always a animal project there is a huge range of clubs from gardening to cooking and raising animals and much more if there is a craft or something you are good at and they do not have a club doing it in your area already START one you will not be disappointed this is a very rewarding program.

Your local volunteer fire/ ambulance company are always looking for help, and it is not always taking classes and fighting fires or helping on the ambulance , they also need help with fund raiser and dinners or making coffee and sandwiches for the ones working a long fire there are alot of behind the scene things that need done.

I have grown up my whole life as a volunteer watching my parents as girl scout and boyscout leaders and firemen and coaching mini football teams i remember being so proud of what they did to help in there community and i have tried to carry this tradition on , so i challenge you to go out there and help somewhere/ anywhere the nursing home the firehouse the local park cleaning up 4-H  it does not matter what as long as you are helping do it alone if you want for you, or do it as a family and teach your children what it means to be apart of something.

I look forward to hearing where you volunteer and what a difference you are making please share with me what you do in  your community!
