Some of their biggest fears are about getting and on their own. Volunteering is great because it puts me in a different environment. I had friends and hang-outs through work, but you lose all of that when you retire. Volunteering has broadened my horizons. I've made new friends.
Every day is a new day.
Everyone should give volunteering a try. You'll be surprised by what you have to offer. It only takes one or two hours a week to make a difference. Any nonprofit can use the help.
