Did You Volunteer?

As I explained on my April 1st blog post, April is recognized as National Volunteer Month. Did you and your friends and family volunteer at all this month? Did you use any of my creative suggestions in your volunteer adventures? Whether you used any of my ideas or not, please take a few moments to share your volunteer stories. They don't have to be craft related, just volunteer related! Your story might just inspire others to volunteer their time and talents.

I hope the combination of it being National Volunteer Month and my list of simple and creative volunteer ideas inspired you to get out in your neighborhood and even beyond and help others. If you didn't get a chance to volunteer in April, don't let that stop you. Any person or organization you volunteer for with appreciate it any time of the year. Many of the volunteer ideas I share can be done with little time and effort, and some from the comfort of your own home.

These are just some suggestions to get you started. If you want to find an organization that you can donate your crafty time and skills to, look around your town, talk to friends and co-workers, and check out this great list of charities to craft for. Don't forget, if you have an idea or story about families volunteering, please feel free to share them with us.
