Give Back This November

During the year our family finds ways to try to help out and give back. I wish I could say that our family was always on the giving side but through the years I have seen our family on both the giving and receiving ends. Many individuals that helped our family when we started out are now oldeer and are being helped by others like our own family. I believe that is what a community is. Someone is always there to offer help when it is needed.

Have you ever thought much about community service?? Community service is work that is done by a person or group of people that benefits others. Often the work or action takes place near the area where the individual lives. There is no pay involved it is on volunteer basis only Many individuals in the community such as children, senior citizens, individuals with disabilities are often helped. There are also community services that benefit animals and community service. Organizations such as local groups, places of worship, and school may all help to organize what service projects are needed done.

Often individuals who enjoy helping others and improving their community volunteer for community service. Some community service is not via volunteers but also mandated by school or judge.
