At the heart of every act of volunteering is love, the love for people, for community, and for the world we share. Love is what moves us to step outside of ourselves and offer our time, skills, and compassion to others.
Love teaches us empathy. It allows us to see beyond our own experiences and understand the struggles of others. This deep sense of connection inspires us to take action, to stand beside those in need, and to uplift voices that may otherwise go unheard.
Love fuels generosity. When we care deeply, we naturally want to give. We can give our time, energy, skills, expertise or resources. We find joy in serving others, knowing that even the smallest gesture can brighten someone’s day or change the course of a life.
Love builds community. It reminds us that we are all connected and that the well-being of one impacts the well-being of all. Through volunteering, love becomes a bridge, uniting people from different backgrounds to work toward a common good.
Most importantly, love transforms. It not only changes the lives of those we help but also shapes us into becoming more compassionate, resilient, and understanding individuals.
When we let love guide us, volunteering becomes more than a duty, it becomes a way of life. A way to heal, to build, and to create lasting change. We need your skills and talents to meet our goals.
Let love lead you, please consider volunteering and be part of something greater. You are cordially invited to attend one of our virtual committee meetings held every other Wednesday evening from 6:15 to 7:00 PM EST. Email us at info@itiahangels.org to inquire about how you can meet our team of volunteers and you will be sent the link to join our meeting.
