Luckily, there are so many ways to help your community.

You can begin by doing the following:

Start volunteering to help your community

You can help your community by volunteering your time, skill and energy to a cause. There are so many organizations in need of volunteers.

You can volunteer for an environmental sanitation, to help out at a senior’s home, a food bank, dog shelter or even a youth group.

Take out an hour or more from your weekend and help out in your community.

Volunteering might not come with a payment, but it definitely will make you feel great!

Buy goods from local vendors

Buying products and hiring services from locals in your community is a way of investing in the community.

It boosts your community’s economy and provides income for local traders. Patronizing local vendors can also help create job opportunities for people in the community.

A local vendor who gets lots of customers and makes lots of sales can hire others in the community to assist them in their stores.

By purchasing from local vendors you help boost the community and create job opportunities. 

Donate your blood

Donating blood is one great way to help your community. A blood donation can save one or more lives in your community.

All you need to do is eat healthy food with fruits and vegetables to keep your blood rich and healthy.

You can also enjoy a cookie and a juice box after donating. Donate your blood once a month to make a difference in a person’s life.
