Volunteer for Disabled and Sick
Donate to Blind, Dyslexic, Seniors, Children, Drug-Addicted Babies
Becoming a volunteer is not only a noble thing to do, but is self-fulfilling as well. Many people are in need of assistance, and numerous volunteer organizations exist to steer donors in the proper direction to make a difference in these individual’s lives. There are ways to implement volunteerism behind the scenes, as well as in a hands-on capacity.
Providing Assistance for Disabled
Helping people with disabilities can be rewarding for both the person in need as well as the volunteer.
One great way to help volunteer is through a program called Recording for the Blind and Dyslexic. By narrating a book into an audio format, students who are legally blind or who have troubles reading can have easy access to downloadable textbooks. Locations are nationwide. For more information, the nationwide contact number is 800-803-7201.
The Braille Institute is another great place to volunteer to help people with disabilities. Located throughout California, numerous volunteer opportunities are available that are waiting to be filled by a generous heart. More information can be obtained by calling Michelle Sheridan at 323-663-1111, Ext. 3160.
Health Care Volunteer and Senior Care
Many hospitals accept volunteers eagerly. Children’s areas are a great place to start, by donating time reading to sick children or playing games with them. Just having visitors can brighten the day of a scared youth. Volunteer positions are usually available for individuals who prefer to work behind the scenes as well, rather than one-on-one.
