How Do I Volunteer?
A Volunteer's Story
"We are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied in a single garment of destiny. Whatever affects one directly, affects all indirectly.”
"Volunteerism is important because God has blessed me tremendously. When a group of individuals come together, such as we did at the Great King Oliver Cleanup, we can make a significant, positive difference in the lives of others. I felt delighted that Top Ladies of Distinction & Top Teens of America could bring joy to people by painting their homes. If I can do my part in my community to make this world better, I have served my purpose." - Chericka Hilburn
