Giving Tuesday may almost be over, but volunteering is year-round #giving #volunteers #community

[image error]In a rural area like my southwest New Mexico, USA, we don’t have a lot of money to hire people. Volunteers – your neighbors – are a big factor. My spouse and I volunteer at the monthly food bank (on a Wednesday in my area) and also in the local fire department. In America, over two-thirds of firefighters are volunteers, and volunteers also manage non-firefighting tasks like office support and maintaining tools and equipment. Whatever your interests and capabilities, what can you do to help your community? You’ll meet people you might never run into at work and do something useful and appreciated. Volunteer.
