Statistics of Volunteers

Funny that there even would be studies on volunteering as far as I am concerned but there is and it does vary from state to state. Not sure why it would be so varied but I guess population, metropolitan areas, need, and things like this play a roll in it. I think how someone is raised is going to be part of who you become and why you would need to help and/or give back. If you are raised as a person who is involved in your community, such as doing nice things for neighbors or groups, then you will most likely be that kind of person. I like to think that when you have small children get involved with helping others, like doing small chores for elderly neighbors, reading to kids as a group, or even sending cards to overseas soldiers, then you most likely will become an adult who joins civic groups, goes to church’s to lend a helping hand, or donate money from a fundraiser to a worthy cause. So my suggestion, take the family during the next big holiday and help feed the poor or do a food drive instead of exchanging gifts. It will instantly humble you, guaranteed!
