Well-written, inspirational. You've found words from experience. You've shared so that others might reflect, act and enjoy the benefits of volunteering. We all have gifts to offer and you've reminded us of that. We've all been rewarded with you having "found your voice" and sharing with us.

What you're doing helps the mind, body and spirit. You actually get to see your efforts come to life. Keep up the good work Kevin. It's funny, when building it actually keeps you grounded. Way to be! That’s awesome Kevin.

I have been volunteering with my kids school a lot lately and I have been heavily involved with the PTOs for the last 6 years. I am also a big Red Cross donor (passed the 10 gallon mark last year). I've been considering signing up for some other volunteer opportunities over the summer. You've given me the inspiration to get off my butt and figure out where.

It's great to see that you found a connection with the Red Cross. I have been volunteering with Habitat for Humanity for the past couple years through my church. We have built a couple homes on Grape St, and this year we are building one on Campbell St. (In fact I'll be at the build site tomorrow!) Like you said, it feels good to know that you had a small part in helping a family in need and improving a neighborhood as well. Great article Billy!
