Importance Of Volunteering

Volunteering is a great act of kindness. It involves caring, loving, and sharing of our time, our heart, and our soul. I believe volunteering makes a person feel empowered because we made someone else 's life better or we helped our community in some way. Volunteering also shows that we are generous, compassionate, and good-hearted because we are kind enough to give up a few hours of our time and put it into the community. It is a way of helping others without expecting anything in return. I believe that everyone should give back to their community because volunteering not only makes us feel better as a person but it also helps the people who really need it.

"www.volunteermatch.org" is the best website that I have found so far. I type in my address and it gives me all of the opportunities near me. Also, on the sidebar, it shows the different kinds of volunteering we can do. For someone who is good in construction, like my boyfriend, there are jobs to do with construction like disaster relief or helping to install fire detectors. My mom, however, loves to bake, so on occasion, she likes to volunteer to serve food or cook in the homeless shelter. We can even volunteer to work fundraisers, or help out in parades; kind of like when we were kids. We had festivals or fundraisers to help raise money for school.

They have a very helpful website, http://eightdaysofhope.com/. I first volunteered with this charity when I was going to Hope Church. I was in the 7th/8th-grade youth group when we were given the option to volunteer. It was after a tornado, at the time, so we helped clean up and fix a house that had been damaged. We worked all day each time I went and got a lot done. Not only was it fun being with my friends helping, but it was actually fun knowing how happy someone was going to be once they saw this house. I loved it, helping someone who really needed it. They were so grateful for our help, and after that, I was in love with helping people. Being so selfless and helping someone in need really put a sense of fulfillment in my heart, it was all because of that charity. "We love it when a homeowner shares their Eight Days of Hope story! We are good but we are not that good BUT God is great! He alone is responsible for all of this! To God be the glory! Love this family! ‪#‎8DOH‬ ‪#‎LoveGodLoveOthers‬. ' Every time I come over the hill and pull into my driveway, I 'm reminded how much God has blessed me. He gave Godly servants and great friends ... He then brought Steve Tybor and Eight Days of Hope in to help ... was blown away by their love and desire to help someone they had never even met. And then one amazing volunteer after another showed up, some local friends and family, but most complete
