#24 (September): Participate in one volunteer/non-profit activity each month.

Date Completed: 9/25/2010

Before I write about this list item, I wanted to say thank you. Thank YOU for supporting my blog! This blog has had over 800 hits from 10 countries, which is more than I had ever imagined. I hope you're finding it enjoyable and inspirational.

This month, I donated time to support Arc in New Hope, MN at their Value Village thrift shop. The day started with me preparing jewelry for the shelves and ended with me sorting clothing donations. I volunteered here in 2009 as well and found it an enjoyable experience both times. Arc’s mission is “to secure for all people with intellectual and developmental disabilities and their families the opportunity to realize their goals of where and how they live, learn, work and play.” It was a fun morning for me and everyone was super nice. Even a couple hours of your time is appreciated by non-profits. If you’re looking for an event where you could help, consider VolunteerMatch.org.
