Are you a volunteer ( for whatever purpose) in your community ?

Question

What do you do ?

Answer 1

What I currently am involved in is giving blood as often as possible. Before, I volunteered for the "Big Brothers Program" I was a big brother to a little brother and it was great fun for both of us!

The problem is there is just not enough volunteers. A close friend of mine signed up to become a Big Sister for a girl, but there was a 7 year old boy that had been waiting over a year for a big brother and they asked her if she would consider him to be a Big Sister to.

So if you read this and have ever considered volunteering, please think about the Big Brother and Big Sister programs. It is a lot of fun, the children need you, and it is a very rewarding experience.

Why am I not doing it now? Because I decided to go back to school and work full time. When I am finished with school I will go back into the program. My little brother and his mom moved out of the area, so the timing was good for both of us.


--Reading some of the comments and responding to Bolan. How can you consider your employees as a charity? They give you their time and energy to make your business successful. If it were not for them, you would not be in business. It is like Wal-mart saying they help their employees, when the opposite is true. So wake up to reality.

Answer 3

I volunteered at this youth music hall for two years. I now don't volunteer regularly for anywhere, but I was homeless for 6 years, and now I always give money to bums, cuz I know that no one is going to give them a job until they at least get on medication and get a shower, and who's gonna let a bum take a shower at their house? not you. I sometimes let them spend the night, too, and no, I have never been robbed or attacked or put in any danger from doing this.

Answer 7

I'm one of Jehovah's Witnesses. (There are now over 6.5 million of us, in over 98,200 congregations, worldwide.) Each of us enjoy helping serious-minded individuals find the Bible-based answers to their many-times-perplexing questions, using various Bible translations & often comparing them. Several of the questions we're often asked -- along with their basic, Scriptural answers -- are found at:

We work to support ourselves. We do not 'pass a plate' for contributions, nor ask for monetary pledges from anyone. I was once one of those looking for answers, and found my life so enriched that I wanted to help others the same way I'd been helped.
