VOLUNTERING-GIVING BACK

One of the greatest lessons I learned in life was to give back to others as much as possible. My business does not always afford me the time to give, but I do have the resources to give and that is why I have supported so many of our local community organizations now and in the past. The joy and camaraderie of being involved, volunteering or supporting organizations in the community has been immeasurable. 

 Research consistently shows that helping others boosts happiness, reduces stress, combats depression, and gives a strong sense of purpose. Think about all the possibilities gleaned from meeting new people, connecting with others, and the joy and satisfaction of helping a person in need. Teaching kids at a young age to volunteer allows them to learn responsibility, empathy and the value of collective action as well.

Volunteerism is one of the most accessible and powerful ways to build a better society.
