olunteering comes in many different forms for many different causes. Whether you are 12 or 20, 17 or 70, working together, side by side with coworkers or family, helps build stronger communities. As part of the United Way LIVE UNITED movement, United Ways throughout the region are asking people to Give, Advocate and Volunteer. Although donations to any nonprofit are needed and necessary, the value of volunteering cannot be overstated. Volunteering for a cause or on behalf of an organization provides individuals with opportunities to expand both their business and social networks. It’s the perfect way to meet new and interesting people with likeminded interests. You will also gain experience in the nonprofit arena and maybe even find that perfect soul mate. Family volunteering provides parents and children with a chance to spend some quality time away from the rigid schedules of work and
soccer practice. Instilling the importance of sharing and giving back at an early age will lead to a new and active generation imprinted with the sense that we are all one. To make volunteering easier than ever, United Way is introducing a new partnership with VolunteerMatch - a web based program (LIVEUNITEDdelval.volunteermatch.org) that can help you select the perfect volunteer opportunities that best meet your interests and your busy schedule. The more that people within the community work to help others. the better the community works as a whole. If you are currently a volunteer, United Way thanks you. If you have yet to experience the joy of volunteering, now is the perfect time to come on board. Volunteering is like money in the bank. Make a deposit soon. The return on your investment will amaze you. For more information about your local United Way, please visit: LIVEUNITEDdelval.org ✽
