Organize Food Drives
There are millions of Americans who
currently struggle to provide for themselves and their families, for a
wide variety of reasons. If you find that you are in a position to help,
but don’t feel you can do enough on your own, consider organizing a
food drive. This will allow you to bring people from all parts of the
community together so that you can help each other.
Volunteer
There
are likely going to be many opportunities to volunteer in your local
community, assuming you know where to look. Schools, hospitals, senior
centers and animal shelters regularly look for volunteers who can help
them to provide a higher standard of service, so consider getting
involved.
Through Your Work
In addition to getting
involved with charities like Habitat For Humanity, Nicholas Dematteis
believes that he does an enormous amount to help his local community
through his work as an architectural engineer. Consider your career
choices and what you currently contribute through your work. There are
so many positions that you could fill that benefit your community, so
take stock of your skills and how you could apply them to relevant
roles.
