Sept. 11 marks the National Day of Service, and there’s a new resource to help you make the most of your volunteer time. GreatNonProfits, GuideStar, VolunteerMatch and Do Something have teamed up to promote non-profit organizations that get the most positive reviews from their communities.
Find top-rated non-profits, read about people’s volunteer experiences and submit your own reviews for others to see.
My family and I have a large garden. We decided to pick a large bag of fresh Roma tomatoes for our local Firefighters. We dropped them off the morning of Sept 11, and were greeted by smiles and thank you’s. I know it was a small gesture, but it was a way to show our appreciation and feed them at the same time.
