Take steps toward helping those in need.
Take steps toward helping those in need. Giving support to other people can improve your mental well-being and give you a sense of belonging. It can help reduce stress and extend your life. First, assess whether you have the time to devote to the service. Make sure you're physically fit and that your car is in good working order. Depending on where you serve, you may need some certifications, such as a CDL license. Check with your local community center for classes. Decide how you want to serve, then do an online search to see what's available. Call city hall or your local township offices to see where there's a need. Work out what days and times you can serve. Establish boundaries and be clear about what you can and cannot do.
