Volunteering in my Town’s Food Pantry What was observed during the experience? My son and I volunteer at the local food pantry at least one day a week. During my volunteering service, I got to observe how things work out between the county government and the local food pantry. Also, I noticed that we were more than 20 local businesses and other organizations provided food and other donations to the local food pantry but it only at certain times of […]
Mahatma Gandhi once said “The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others” this to me means that by helping others, in turn, you help yourself. Although usually done unintentionally, volunteers can often end up gaining more from their experience. Central Idea Today I want to inform you about community service culture and how it has impacted me. I’ve been doing volunteer work for almost 7 years now and I’ve realized that its more […]

A community thrives when all of the members contribute their time and effort by performing community service to make their community a prosperous place. Nursing homes, food pantries and other services that benefit the community are able to expand and provide services people need. Community service also teaches discipline, time management and opens a person’s eyes to seeing the purpose of service. Community service should be mandatory in all high schools because it teaches the importance of serving others, morals […]
I believe that one of the worst things is world hunger. Specially with all the foods that’s wasted in united states! I believe that we can help so much to put a stop to that, or at least decrease it by a large percentage. That’s why I decided to volunteer with north Texas food bank to collect canned food, or $1 to help the people in need. I helped pick up packages of canned food and organized them in to […]
Nursing Theory The nursing theorist I most closely relate to is Clara Barton. Clara Barton was the founder of The American Red Cross in the United States. She began her career as a school teacher and moved on to become a clerk in the United States patent office. Her pursuit to help wounded soldiers through volunteerism started with the Civil War. Clara was determined to bring much needed medical supplies to the wounded and food for those that were hungry. […]

Their faith in me demonstrates that I have proved that I continue to have my determination, ambition and ability to help other people and help the community. I […]
Generosity is the most natural outward expression of an inner attitude of compassion and loving-kindness (The Dalai Lama XIV). Decades ago, resources were being distributed to different places through trading. Scarcity was not a problem yet and people were living their lives to the fullest – people owned big farms to supply the community with their poultry, cattle and other needs, flourishing gardens for vegetables and fruits, and enjoying the abundance of resources the environment has to offer. In today’s […]
As this upcoming spring looms closer, students will graduate from high school all across the country. They will walk across a stage, shake their principal’s hand, grab their diploma, take a picture, and walk off the other side. They are then faced with the reality, in most cases, of another two to eight years in a higher learning institute of some kind. They go straight from thirteen years of schooling to another undetermined amount of schooling. They have no break, […]
Hobbies are often defined as as something done for enjoyment, but what if I told you about a hobby that can offer you so much more? Volunteering at a local hospital is a rewarding hobby, as it provides health benefits, the feeling of accomplishment in the community and social network, and opens the door to career paths. The benefits of your health are just one of the great things of volunteering at a hospital. When you are there to help people […]
Reasonably, community service positively impacts an individual and the community in which he or she resides, as well as neighboring residents, but Wheatland Union High School should not make it a requirement for graduation, as it takes away the merit of the act, is unfair to students who have outside obligations, and can be an insult to those who take pride in their volunteerism. Source 4, In the Good Nameof Community Service, reports a cynical attitude of students who develop […]
As we all grow older itr’s easy to become self-absorbed in our own needs and desires. Managing the stress of college, finding the proper career path for your future, all while still leaving time for your friends and social events can prove to be extremely challenging. What if on top of that you were required to volunteer in your community? Sounds like one more thing to add to the long list of things you need to do, but in reality, […]
For my community service project I chose to volunteer at Saint Johnr’s Womenr’s shelter in Sacramento. Through my volunteering hours I helped serve the women dinner and set up the tables for their dinner. My first day volunteering I found that I was extremely nervous, for the work itself and to see women in poverty. Once I was directed to the kitchen and instructed on what I had to do my nerves calmed down. When dinner time arrived I was […]
Community service can play a crucial role in our happiness, though many people do not take advantage of it. A lot of times people don’t want to waste their time with this, because it doesn’t benefit them financially. But sometimes the gain from community service can sometimes be more valuable than money itself. Not only can community service open up multiple doors for the future, it can more importantly improve our overall well-being. Many ways community service has a positive […]
I have recently volunteered my services helping at the Baby Gator Daycare. Serving the Baby Gator Daycare at Diamond Village helped me see and experience what I had been studying in the Human Growth and Development course (EDF 3110) and actually apply what I had learned in the class. Personally, I decided to volunteer at the Baby Gator Daycare at the Diamond Village location with preschoolers age three because I believed that it would have been the perfect opportunity for […]

Not everyone has the opportunity to take part in mission trips or volunteer trips in their high school. Luckily my school offered an amazing trip to Nicaragua, a third world country in Central America, to help those in need through many different activities. Although this trip was not easy, required a lot of work and was even emotionally taxing, the life lessons that I have learned made it well worth it. According to Dr. Jessie Voigts, volunteering will change your […]

Philanthropy Theory This theory explains that individual’s give because they want to gain some private advantages; thus, a donation is the mode to fulfill a donor’s ego instead of the public. It is an action people or organizations do on the foundation of altruistic aspiration to enhance human well-being. The well-off people at times create foundations to aid in their philanthropic activities (Greenlee 199-210). An example of consumption philanthropy theory is when John Winthrop of Massachusetts Bay Colony told Puritan […]
Volunteering is in a decade-long decline in the United States. The population volunteering has decreased by four percent from 2005 to 2015. Four percent would look like a few percentages that do not have a critical impact on the whole volunteerism in the United States. Unfortunately, four percent is 13 million fewer people volunteering while adding on average eight people to every single nonprofit. In other words, nonprofits cannot run as effectively as a decade ago, and we cannot realize […]
