Do Good!

About 25 percent of Americans volunteer every year in one way or another. 


People who are most likely to volunteer fall in the age category of 35 to 54 rounding close to 60% of all volunteers. In 2018, 33% of Ohio residents volunteered. 

People all over the country have different reasons for wanting to volunteer. Whether you are supporting a charitable cause, helping out an organization or wanting to bring awareness to a day, you are still playing your part in doing
good for others. 

Have you ever wanted to volunteer but don't know how? The best place to start is within your self. What are the things that you enjoy? Dogs? Children? Cars? There organizations that support just about any and everything that always needs help! If you are not able to donate your time, perhaps you can donate in other ways. This could be in financial ways, donating used or unwanted items or even the pop-tab from the beverage you are drinking. And who says "volunteering doesn't pay." Many organizations that you are willing to offer your time to, are also willing to offer you something in return. This could be a tax write off, student loan reimbursement or maybe even just a free t-shirt!! Help yourself by helping others.
