Volunteers Needed Volunteers share their hearts when they share their time .
Benefits of Volunteering :
• When one volunteers , they can see the results of that work .
• Your work to strengthen a community helps strengthen you .
• You find like-minded people with similar interests when you volunteer .
• Studies show that volunteering has incredible health benefits . Doing good for others fights depression , loneliness and social isolation .
• Volunteers already exhibit passion for their community or an issue , but the skills you gain as a volunteer can lead to new passions or careers .
“ As you grow older , you will discover that you have two hands — one for helping yourself , the other for helping others .”
— Audrey Hepburn
