Serve Those Who Deserve Your Time!
The Meaning and Commitment Behind Volunteering
What does it take to volunteer? You don’t volunteer just because you have extra time on-hand… Committed volunteers are already busy people and make the time. You don’t volunteer because you can afford to. It is the heart that makes you rich. You are rich according to what you are, not according what you have. You might need to sacrifice not going out with friends, getting your house cleaned, getting a good night sleep, or watching TV this week because you’ve realized helping those who sacrificed so much more takes priority. The sacrifices made by volunteering are not nearly enough for our men and women who have put their lives on the line, been away from loved ones, or came home with war injuries after defending our country.
Giving back by volunteering can be fun and rewarding with Operation Never Forgotten (ONF). You can help veterans and their families take steps towards rebuilding their lives. There’s no greater personal gratification than by volunteering through programs that have helped saves marriages, prevented suicides, and have given gold star families great satisfaction of seeing their loved ones in the public-eye, never forgotten.
Whether you volunteer at warrior events, PUT ON A FUNDRAISER, work on campaigns or help with ONF administration, you will help spread the hope for veterans and military families.
