Volunteer Time

I was flipping through the Nov/Dec issue of Outreach Magazine this morning. Yes, I read more than K! Magazine! I came across some interesting info on page 38.

According to the Corporation for National & Community Service (did you know there was such a place?) more than 61 million Americans volunteer their time.

Want to know where they serve? Here you go:

Religious 36%

Educational 27%

Social Services 13%

Health 8%

Other 7%

Civic 6%

Sports/Arts 4%

Let this serve as a good reminder to all of us that people like to feel needed. I bet there will be some people at your church this weekend who would like to volunteer – but they might be waiting to be asked!
