Take Time to Care: Volunteer!

Browse the directory of groups that need your help!

In this economy, too many worthy charitable organizations are forced to cut staff and services because contributions are shrinking at the same time their needs are growing. Who will fill this gap . . . helping children with disabilities, abused and neglected animals, homeless and hungry families, seniors who can no longer care for themselves?

Searcy Denney Scarola Barnhart & Shipley has launched a website demonstrating that community spirit can overcome even the most daunting economic downturn. Take Time to Care: Volunteer! harnesses the potential power of volunteerism in South Florida, matching local talent with the volunteer needs of a wide variety of non-profit organizations.

Why volunteer? Feeling good, and feeling well too.

Here are some startling statistics:  An April 2010 study by United Healthcare shows that 84% of Americans who volunteer feel better physically. What’s more, 95% say volunteerism boosts their emotional health, and 96% believe that volunteering makes people happy. Learn more about the rewards of volunteering and how to get started.

So many opportunities to exercise “the power of one.”

In Palm Beach County and the Treasure Coast alone, there are countless organizations that can put you to work doing what suits you best. Want to cook a hot meal for homeless families?
