What the Holidays Mean to Volunteer Services
When Volunteer Services thinks of the holidays, the first three things that come to mind are a feeling, an action, and a result. The holidays mean warmth, togetherness, and smiles.
Feeling: True warmth extends beyond physical comfort; it encompasses the emotional connection we make with others.
Action: Turn simple acts into long-lasting memories that bring people together.
Result: Create moments of joy and laughter.
An easy way to do all three is to sign up as a library volunteer. Become an essential part of a team that promotes education and enriches the lives of others.
