Community Service

Community service is a very important part of a lot of people’s lives!  Just think.. TOMS are an extremely popular company, and I bet many of you own a pair.  The company is making a huge difference for many people, because they give shoes to people who can’t afford them.  TOMS might not be giving back to their local community, but it is helping other community’s.  When I did the Stop Hunger Now project, I was feeding kids and their families all over the nation!  I might not be feeding local children and families, but I am helping many people.  Making sandwiches for local homeless shelters is a perfect example of community service, because you are feeding the people in you city.  Today I cleaned up trash in local parks and informed the community of local events.  The definition of community service is to help your community without getting anything in return.  I encourage everyone to do something each month that helps your community.  Just remember you are not helping, because you are getting money in return for your good deeds;  you are helping, because it is the right thing to do!
