We have all heard the saying, "It's better to give" than to receive. "Think about it for a moment. What does it mean to you? Of course getting a gift is nice. Giving, though, can be just as good. Sometimes gift of our time is even more appreciated. There are many ways you can give the gift of time. One is to volunteer.

As a volunteer, you can learn new things, make friends, and know that you are helping someone. Here are some simple ways that you can volunteer.

Animal shelters are always looking for volunteers to walk pets, and help clean and care for them.

Organize a clean-up program in your neighborhood.

Hospitals often have programs that kids can help with to cheer up patients.

Donate used toys and books to libraries, shelters or churches.

These are just few examples— visit one of the many volunteer sites online for many more ideas. Why not ask your mom or dad to volunteer too, and make it a family activity?
