Volunteer Recognition Day

Volunteer Recognition Day is the annual recognition of those who selflessly support others's lives. We're all working towards making the world a better place by giving a helping hand to those in need, humans and animals alike.

Every single one of us has been enriched by the service of a volunteer, and Volunteer Recognition Day acknowledges the beauty of this phenomenon.. We can do something outside of our normal list of requirements every day. Honor and respect those who go beyond the mile as you go about your day.

Celebrities like Oprah Winfrey and Bono have made a name for themselves outside of the stage for their work with various foundations. Although most of us are not millionaires, their jobs show that anyone can get their hands dirty, step out of their comfort zone, and give a helping to those in need. Although most of us are not millionaires, those in need are not..

Volunteering comes as a result of finding a cause that inspires you. For those people, caring for animals influences them, while the human condition leads to others requiring them to satisfy the needs of a few or many in their neighborhood, or far and wide.. With so many opportunities to love and help those who won't take it for granted, it's impossible not to want to get involved.

Take a moment to honor a volunteer in your life..

Evaluate your current schedule and see where you can fit in time for volunteering. Select a cause you're passionate about! There's always something to be done whether it's donating your money or, even more important, your time. Don't forget that your skills are also valuable to companies. Many volunteer organizations provide programs to people who would otherwise go without if it weren't for volunteers.
