Family Volunteering
 With
the increasing popularity of community
service and
volunteerism in this country over
the last decade it is not surprising
that family volunteering has gained
in popularity as well. By family,
we mean any group that considers
itself a family. Family volunteering
provides
the American Red Cross-Lakeland Chapter
with a wonderful opportunity to
strengthen
both our community and its families.
It is a fact
that families that volunteer
together will benefit
because…
- It’s fun.
- It strengthens
families.
- It makes family
time valuable to both families
and communities.
- It connects
and strengthens communities.
- It
strengthens businesses by improving
employee morale
and giving employees quality time
with their families.
- It strengthens
nonprofit organizations by increasing
community awareness of important
social
needs and expanding the volunteer
base.
- It improves
family communication.
- It helps create
a new generation of dedicated
volunteers.
- It teaches kids
values like kindness, empathy,
respect, friendliness and tolerance.
IT
CHANGES LIVES.
