While your children may not tell you, they will be very happy at your active participation. Many non-profit organizations need volunteers to do phone work. For instance, the Vietnam Veterans collect used clothing and household items, and they have volunteers call to solicit donations. Even giving blood at your local Red Cross or baking a cake for the church bake sale is a form of volunteering. If you don't know where to start, start locally your school, church or community center, or if there are certain organizations you feel strongly about, then call your local chapter.
Volunteers are the backbone of our society and unfortunately, they are dwindling in numbers.
There are so many ways in which to volunteer and make it a family project. By volunteering you will not only be helping others but you will help yourself and your family by learning the true meaning of giving. Inc.
