Winston Churchhill once said “You make a living by what you get. You make a difference by what you give.” National Volunteer Month became official in 1991. There are many people in the Tri City that choose to volunteer once a month, while others volunteer for many organizations putting in hours multiple days. Every contribution big and small make a difference at organizations like City of Fremont’s Human Services Department, Life ElderCare, Tri City Volunteers, Shinn Park, Washington Hospital and the Tri City Free Breakfast Program. What draws those who choose to volunteer to donate their time, energy and knowledge? Many say volunteering gives them purpose and allows them to meet new people. Some say since they retired, they felt lost and volunteering allowed them to choose where they wanted to be and who they wanted to help, which was a priceless feeling. Others say their town has been so good to them and they feel as though its’ their duty to give back to their town. If you volunteer, why do you? If not, can you think of a volunteer you think fondly of? The City of Fremont hope you have been touched by all the good displayed by neighbors, nonprofit organizations, government entities and strangers during these challenging times. The pandemic has sparked a new wave of volunteerism across the globe and we hope the positive energy continues for centuries to come!
