Make a difference

"I was initially reluctant to volunteer because I didn't think I had the time to spare. Now, five years later, I'm still writing for the volunteer newsletter. Like me, I'm sure that most people can find a few hours a month to volunteer — even if it doesn't seem possible at first.”
