I usually don't volunteer in any physical work, but I always contribute financially.

I just signed up today to volunteer at a local animal shelter.  I've already got a busy schedule, but I'll make time for this!

That's excellent that you raised $52K for scholarships.  My hat is off to you. (Original Post).  I don't volunteer much anymore.  I did a lot of volunteering while I was in the military for 27 years, but have been pretty inactive since I retired.  I do plan on getting back into it however.  I miss it.

ANC, that's smart.

A good volunteer job pays you in food and drink IMHO. ^.^

Better ones pay you free room and board.

The best give one a new lease on life. (think missionary work, or the Peace Corps)

I have volunteered in the past, but not now.  Trying to get my business up and providing me with an income.

I volunteer in my daughter's classroom about 10 hours a week and love every minute of watching her grow in Kindergarten.

I used to volunteer at a low income health clinic in the office. I really enjoyed it but it is located on the other side of town and I have less time than I did back then. Maybe one day I will volunteer there again.

I volunteer when and where I can. I believe that those who can, should help those who can't. Whether that is human, animal, or plant it makes no difference. I was recently having a conversation with a member of an organization (Fraternal Order of Eagles) and we were talking about all we could accomplish is each member gave just 2 hours a month to help. It does not have to be large amounts of time or money. If everyone who could, would give a small amount of time or money there would be a lot less need for government "help".

Bye the way if you want to know about the Eagles you can go to their website foe.com or contact me at sanderskm52 at yahoo.com.
