National Volunteer Week is a time to give thanks to 62 million Americans who donate almost 8 billion hours of their time each year to causes that are close to their hearts. And when it comes to their hearts, scientific evidence proves that volunteering is good for physical and mental health. Researchers have the statistics and say the benefits are clear: Lower blood pressure, less stress, and longer lives are all associated with volunteering.
Here at the Alliance for Safe Kids, we couldn’t do what we do without our volunteers... the smiles and generosity that fill our office after school... the fun and laughs at community events... and the love and dedication that they have for our community...
You can’t put a price on that. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you.
