Why Volunteer?
There is an infant without a mother.
There is a little boy without a brother.
There is a state under a flood.
There is a town under mud.
There is a school short staffed.
There is an adult, who has never laughed.
There is a face in need of a smile.
There is a church that needs a greeter to escort the isle.
There is a person without a place to live.
There is a place that will take whatever you give.
There are little boys and girls, who want to grow.
There are places that need you to teach the children all you know.
There is a person dying of cancer.
There is a little girl, who is dreaming of being a dancer.
There is an alcoholic with a bottle.
There is a teenager starving herself thinking it will make her a model.
There is a house in need of repair.
There is a lonely person, who needs to know you care.
There is trash all around.
There is a need to protect our precious ground.
There is polluted water.
There is a person begging for a quarter.
There is a teenager all stressed out.
There is a country facing a draught.
There is a Cub Scout Den without a leader.
There is a literacy group without a reader.
There is a life passing by.
There is a need to volunteer or at least try.
