Summer Plans

Volunteering with Habitat for Humanity

It's the last day of school for many students in our region and summer break is about to start. So that's got me thinking about summer plans. I have often used the summer break to help out with a new organization as the need sometimes goes up with many volunteers taking a much needed break at times over the summer. It also allows me to become more familiar with the work of some local organizations. Last year I volunteered at Habitat for Humanity and really enjoyed that. I wasn't building houses but did feed those who were doing the building! Every summer, I also get to volunteer with Send'em Off Smiling which I will be posting about soon. Also, food supplies at the Food Bank are usually at their lowest over the summer, so that's always a great time to host a food drive or drop off items at a local food drive bin (found in many grocery stores).

Do you have any plans to give volunteering a try over the summer? Is there an organization you would like to learn more about? Comment below!
