During this season of making resolutions, people tend to focus on self-improvement with fitness and happiness topping the list of desired results. There are many ways to achieve these personal goals, but one of the most surprising and fulfilling paths to physical, emotional and social well-being is volunteerism.
Volunteers are active, contributing members of society who use their time and talents to help less fortunate people, while staying active and cheerful, and enjoying social interaction with like-minded peers.
Hands-on community service is a worthwhile pursuit for people of all ages. Retirees with flexible schedules and diverse career experience appreciate the variety of volunteer opportunities available within Assistance League chapters, including leadership positions, hands-on service work with adults and children, and thrift shop staffing. Working adults and teens are valuable assets who find fulfillment through Assistance League by volunteering as time permits in chapter programs or Assisteens®.
In planning for 2016, consider volunteering with Assistance League to make a difference in the life of a child, put a smile on the face of a woman in need or provide food for a family over the weekend.
