The Giving Tree

According to the National Center for Charitable Statistics, there are more than 1.5 million registered nonprofit organizations in the United States.

Service is important to me because it allows for growth in a person’s selflessness like no other action can. In this country, it is extremely easy for a person to turn a blind I to suffering and need, which is unacceptable. A few years ago I adopted the mentality that my actions and achievements are not for myself but for the betterment of the community around me. With that being said, it’s important to me to give back and assist the community in as many ways at possible. Service creates the…

Rick Warren once said “Time is your most precious gift because you only have a set amount of it.” Time is one of the only things you can’t get back. When you give someone your time you give them part of your life. That is the reason why volunteering is such a selfless thing to do. Volunteering a lot is extremely important for a community. That’s why Tim Egemo is a true hero and one of the most important people in our community. One time Tim volunteered to help the community was when he made his…

These answers, while they may have a specific universal answer, are personally answered subconsciously, giving everyone a different answer. The dictionary definition may be different than your answer that may be different than mine. “A thing given willingly to someone without payment; a present.” This…

From a little girl, until now, I have always been raised on the principle of giving back to your community . For over seven years I have been an active volunteer at the Inidantown Food Pantry. Though it seems like a minute role, it is a very impactful one.

Within that number, there is an estimated twenty-five percent poverty rate,…

People are faced with several perspectives on charity. Charities do not always solve the problems they aim to solve. Charities’ target issues that are far too extensive to be fixed with mere money. Therefore, they are not fixing the issues, but rather they are covering them while the main issues continue to grow larger.
