THE VIRTUES OF VOLUNTEERING:

Janet Bodnar, in a June, 2021, Kiplinger Personal Finance column, emphasizes the benefits of volunteering.  When considering volunteering, focus on activities that make use of your talents or pique your interest.  Be on the lookout for opportunities, especially in the public sector.

Don’t over commit.  Choose something that allows flexibility if you’d like to travel or have regular family commitments.

Volunteering is an excellent way to respond to loneliness and isolation.  It is a benefit to both oneself and to those who benefit from your action.
