How do volunteers make a difference?

Question

I'm writing a short essay on how volunteers make a difference...and I would like your opinion on how volunteers make a differnece. Thanks

Answer 1

Volunteer work is when a person receives no compensation of any kind for what they have done, and it is done either for a non-profit organization that provides service to the public or on one's own.

Volunteers make a difference because they are reaching out to people in need and helping them access the opportunities that they were denied, so that they can get what they rightfully deserve. Volunteers are people who are already well-off and they choose to spend their time doing what is right, and helping the less fortunate. Volunteering is the right thing to do, and the right thing to do is always the best thing you CAN do.

Good luck :)

My husband had non-Hodgkins lymphoma, cancer in his bone marrow so he didn't make new blood cells. For a time, he had microangiopathic hemaelytic anemia, active blood destruction. To give him a chance for remission and then for a bone marrow transplant from a relative to work, he had the blood donations of 200-300 volunteers. It didn't work long-term, but they gave us 18 more months together--most of them good ones

These weren't people who'd lined up for him. They had lined up at church, at work, at school, maybe at a mall and donated a pint of blood because it was the right thing to do, or because everyone else was, or because of the meals served afterward. (This was in Kansas where small town donations get a full meal, not just juice and a cookie.) That's how volunteers made a difference for us.
