Are you in the East Beaches area and thinking about volunteering, but just haven't quite got around to it? You could be delaying some great benefits to your community, and to YOURSELF.

Talking with volunteers about what they get out of the volunteer experience, here’s what they had to say:

“It gives me a sense of purpose, like it’s something I can do to make the world a little better.”

“I like doing things with others. We work together, but we also chat, get to know each other, and there’s always a laugh or two along the way. I’ve met lots of good people and made new friends over the years.”

“It makes me feel like I belong.”

“It feels good to help others. I feel happier because of the volunteering I do.”

“It gets me out of the house, and doing things. Especially during the winter when there’s less to do out here. But it’s great every season.”

"It helps to keep my mind sharp, especially now that I'm retired."

"I'm always learning something. A new way to do something, about how the community club works, a new skill, and learning from others.
