The first reason why many families do volunteer work is that they feel satisfied and proud. The feeling of
fulfillment comes from helping the community and other people. In addition, volunteering is a great way for families
to have fun and feel closer. But many people say they don’t have time to volunteer because they have to work and
take care of their families. If that’s the case, try rethinking some of your free time as a family. You could select just
one or two projects a year and make them a family tradition. For instance, your family can make and donate gift
baskets for the old homeless people on holidays. Your family can also spend only one Saturday morning a month
collecting rubbish in your neighborhood.
