What if you walked downtown and saw all of these places closed and boarded up: the Community
Center, the Family Shelter, the Soup Kitchen, the Youth Activity and Sports Foundation, the Job
Placement Center, the Music Workshop, and Teen Place? Almost everyone in town has taken
advantage of the wide range of benefits these places provide. Yet most of us have done so without
thinking about the people who keep these places running. Except for a few paid administrative
positions, every one of these community service institutions is staffed almost entirely by unpaid
volunteers. Because volunteering benefits the entire community, more people from our community
should volunteer.
