In my last blog, we discussed how volunteering can actually improve your health. But did you know that volunteering can improve your quality of life as well? Below are just a few more benefits that you receive when you volunteer:
· Have fun. Really! You’d be surprised at how much fun you can have picking up garbage in the woods! Combine a relaxed and friendly atmosphere with lots of laughter and you won’t even realize that you are really working!
· Free Food. Savor a hot cup of Dutch Bros coffee and baked goodies provided to you when you get to the clean-up site. Afterward, sit back and admire the results of your hard work while you dine on a delicious lunch provided by local restaurants.
· Grow your Social Network. Meet people from all walks of life. Social networking is a great marketing tool, and can lead to new business contacts. You will also make new friends that share your concerns about our environment.
· Family Time. Make volunteering for a clean-up a family event. Teach your kids the importance of volunteering, spend time together as a family, and learn more about your “back yard” environment.
Take the time to improve your quality of life… Volunteer!
