Volunteering
Bianca, 10, Florida
I love to volunteer! It really makes you feel good to know you're helping someone!

I volunteer at my local animal shelter every Saturday for two hours. I walk dogs, feed animals, play with them, give them water, take care of the cats, and have a blast! But, it does involve some work. I do dishes for the animals and laundry too. Many people think that it's not as helpful to do things like dishes, but I know it helps them. They would have no place for their food. They would have no warmth or comfort. I just love it there. I also earn money with my friends and my church youth group for the animal shelter by having car washes, lemonade stands, even musicals!

I also help my mother cook food for the homeless a lot! I just love the thought of helping those who need it! I walk in the walk for Juvenile Diabetes. I did Jump Rope for Heart Health. I hope to influence everyone I know to help and get active in volunteering and helping the community. If I make a difference, even in the smallest way, all of the work I put into it is worth it.
