Volunteering As A Lifestyle

Guest post written by Joseph Finch

Being a part of something bigger is really important to me which is why I consider volunteering my biggest hobby. It’s crucial as a member of free society, I feel like, to give back in some measurable way which is what I strive to do every change I can. Sometimes it’s at the soup kitchen and sometimes at the battered women’s shelter but no matter what I’m doing I try to make it really count. I love being a part of something bigger than myself and my volunteering makes me feel like that more than anything else I do. I had to get some home security equipment for the house since I’m always out and about and I had to invest in some great walking shoes and some clothes that can be thrown away since a lot of my efforts mean I get really dirty. It was all worth it, though, because I feel like I’m really making a difference in my community and helping inspire other people in my family to give back!
