THanks for posting this! As someone who works in the nonprofit sector I can tell you that our volunteers mean SO much to us! We couldn’t do it without them. I think people either underestimate themselves (how could I contribute?) or just assume that volunteer work means licking stamps. It doesn’t! Just be creative! THe best thing you can do as a volunteer is offer your own project that is self-directed, so no one has to train you. For example, my sis and I volunteered at a program for at-risk kids. We brought in old magazines that we had collected from doc offices and then showed the kids how to make a collage. The theme of the collage was a “world without drugs.” It was very fulfilling, the kids created a masterpeice, and it only took a few hours.

I have an Etsy shop. And when I make a sale…I try to give an item as a blessing to someone.

I embroider alot…and try to give as many items as gifts or blessings as I can.

We all have so much we can give.

Thanks for more ideas on how to do that!

It’s funny, this morning I woke up at 3:40 am and started thinking about meals that I could make to bless other people. Great post, thanks for sharing.
