Local Heroes
David Adams
Everyone benefits from volunteering. People think they're going to make
a difference in someone's life, but they don't realize how good
volunteer work is going to make them feel.
Rich Greening
People who participate in their community by volunteering, whether
they're cleaning parks, visiting the elderly, or assisting at the
humane society, all have the opportunity to learn a lot about
themselves and their capabilities.
Andrew Wilson
It's easy to NOT get involved, but once you make the effort you realize
how fun it is and it becomes addictive. Helping the less fortunate
provides a tremendous amount of perspective to life.
