Volunteers would not be limited to 4 hours per quarter, however. Volunteers MUST be team players. Flexibility a plus. If we can bring smiles to those who are experiencing difficulty in their lives, we've accomplished our goal.
Every good act is a charity.
Your smiling in your brother's face is charity. An exhortation of your fellow man to virtuous deeds is equal to alms-giving. Your putting a wanderer in the right road is charity. Your assisting the blind is charity. Your removing stones and thorns and other obstructions from the road is charity.
