Happy National Volunteer week!
I would like to express a heartfelt "Thank you" to those who volunteered and gave back to the community.
According to a survey conducted by Gallup Well Being in 2013, http://www.gallup.com/poll/166250/americans-practice-charitable-giving-volunteerism.aspx 83% of Americans donated to charity in the past year and 65% volunteered.
Not only is volunteering and giving back to the community the right thing to do, it also brought a sense of happiness to those who gave. One of my favorite Sir Winston Churchill quotes truly summarizes the benefit of giving "We make a living by what we get, we make a life by what we give."
In commemoration with National Volunteer week from April 6-12, I would like to repost a blog post that I wrote back in November 2013, about giving the gift of volunterism during the holidays /2013/11/are-you-starting-your-holiday-shopping.html. You can actually give the gift of volunteerism anytime, anywhere, and on any occasion.
Happy National Volunteer Week and Have a great weekend!
