During this time of year the needs of other people are highly publicized on the news. It lets the general public know that there are many families in our community that need our assistance to survive the winter and holiday season. Volunteering your family through your church or school is a wonderful way to have your family look outside of themselves. It also allows you to count your blessings as you work to serve others.
Studies report that children who volunteer do better in school, feel more positive about themselves, and avoid risky behaviors like drugs and alcohol. Children that have participated in service activities are more likely to vote, have a positive work ethic, and live a socially responsible life. Learning to make a difference in your community can make a lifelong impression on your children and family as you work together to serve the less fortunate.
Have a blessed season.
