Why Is It Important To Give Back To Your Community

Improved Essays
I feel that it is important to give back to your community because you get to see all the different families and their perspective on life. Also, you get to know your community better and start relationships that could last life time. When giving back to the community you realize many things. Such as, having food to eat for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. While some people only eat one meal a day or couple days. Also, you realized how lucky you are to have a house to live in and a bed to sleep in at night.
When people are going through a hard time or if they are sick the community is always there with support to try and keep them going. For example, the community will host benefit breakfasts for people that are sick. The money they raise

    Community is important to me. I grew up in a small town where you knew your neighbors, and chances were that you lived down the street from at least one of your teachers. Where every summer Saturday, the entire block would meet in somebody’s backyard- a fire would be lit, and all of us kids would roast marshmallows and hotdogs, and play on the wooden swing-set, playing out stories and adventures. My community wasn’t just a place where I lived and went to school- it was a family.…

    I have completed many hours of community service and I believe that it is my responsibility to involve myself in my community in any way possible. Getting involved in the community helps build a strong character and it teaches certain values that will benefit other communities. Speaking of community improvement, it is also my responsibility to pay any taxes set for me by our state and federal governments. Without taxpayer money, it would be impossible to maintain many of our most precious and crucial government funded organizations. If the American people allowed those organizations to fade away, we would be hurting our country and helping ourselves.…

    Not only is the participant regarded in higher esteem, the participant gets to take part in a satisfying experience that helps others in their community. Many people believe that there is nothing they can do to help in their communities, but that is simply not the case. There are opportunities in every community; you just have to dig deeper and look for them. I think the best part about community service is that you get to see your few minutes, hours, or days make a change for the better. In the past years I have participated in a variety of service activities that I have thoroughly enjoyed.…

Simultaneously, I plan on volunteering at the Salvation Army often helping the dentist there extracting teeth.…

    There are many different ways in order to give back to the community. A few of these ways include money, time and attitude. Money is, of course, essential to living, therefore a huge amount of money would definitely be helpful but not always necessary. One person does not need to give thousands of dollars to make a difference because someone else can give one dollar and still impact the community. It should be an effort from everyone in the community to give back that way one person doesn 't have to give everything.…

    An elderly woman who got to take part in a high school community service project states, “Many think that volunteering is all about what you give. But what catches you by surprise is how much you receive in return.” This demonstrates why many people do not feel that they should give back because they do not believe the benefits that they can get from it as well. Consequently, when creating that feeling of happiness and satisfaction in someone else’s life, it comes back to the person creating it. Volunteering to help someone get tutored, help the handicapped, involve themselves with a program like Meals on Wheels, certain environmental work, etc., not only does one gain from that, but one’s community has been helped because of them.…

    A charity sports event is a participatory sports event that raises funds for a charitable cause from the participants and the public in exchange for their presence at the event (Woolf et al., 2013). Several factors have contributed towards the popularity of charity sports events. Marathons, cycling events and even matches that are sponsored by voluntary organizations are considered as critical components in enhancing community prestige as well as promoting a healthier lifestyle (Edwards & Tsouros, 2008).
