Help Your Community
I follow the Whitehouse.gov RSS feed and saw a message this morning about helping out local communities. I really liked this part of Barrack’s campaign and was glad to see the continuing push for community involvement. The article mentioned the site http://www.usaservice.org as a way to get involved. I went and signed up and found a nice list of things I could do to help my community.
The site lists a host of ways to get involved such as food banks, blood banks, environmental projects, shelters, and more. There weren’t very many events in my area, but I do know of some old stuff in my pantry I’ll be packing up and taking to the Brazos Food Bank . I’m also motivated to take some of those old sheets in my closet to the local shelter (Twin City Mission).
I challenge you to take just an hour this month to get involved by donating food, clothing, blood, plasma, or most importantly time to a local charity. Post about your donation via comments or pingbacks.
