Being a volunteer doesn't mean joining, but that helps

About: Volunteer service most enjoyable time of life

By Stephanie Caldwell

I wholeheartedly agree! l I deal with two local volunteer agencies, and volunteering is one of the most appreciated and rewarding things you can do.

When you are gone people may remember who your family was, what your chosen profession was, or what talents you possessed, but what will really stick with them is what you did for others.



You do not have to be a part of an organization to be a volunteer (though I recommend it!). You can start with small things: Volunteering to help a young mother with groceries in the parking lot, picking up trash on the roadside around your home, or calling an elderly person you know just to chat.

If you want to get involved with an organization contact the garden club, the local food pantry, the Agape House, I55 Mission or many of the other volunteer organizations in Adair County!

Thanks!

s/Stephanie Caldwell

PS: I am wondering if it would be possible to highlight volunteer organizations in Adair County to give our citizens a chance to choose a place they can be of service.
