WHO ARE WE?

We are a grassroots & entirely not-for-profit movement of people who are giving and receiving stuff for free in their own cities. It's all about receiving, then giving back to those in need. Membership is FREE. Help us to give to a mother or child in need. Join us in giving back to our communities. We are accepting can goods, new clothes for women and children. [Yes, I said, new clothes]. How many of us have clothes we have not worn with the tags still on it? Let us do a closet clean out, minimizing your closet would reduce the stress you have established over the years. Thank you for your services in advance!

The important and benefits of giving back to your community

Giving support to a cause you are passionate about is something you will never regret. It will enrich your life, familiarize you with your community, and connect you to people and ideas that will positively impact your perspective for the rest of your life. Helping your community is an opportunity for you to grow as a person, to better understand how you fit into the world around you.

Why is it so important to give back to your community?

Why is it so important to find a cause you love and volunteer your time? Spending time enriching your community is a great way to broaden your perceptions of the world. By immersing yourself in a community and surrounding yourself with people who are dedicated to bettering the world, you can learn so much about how the world works. You gain a unique sense of purpose for serving those around you, which often manifests in other areas of your life.

Of course, it's also important for your community! Without volunteers, many of the services and events we enjoy in our communities would not be so readily available. Spending time helping out at local shelters or food banks provides an important service to less fortunate neighbors. Giving back to the place you call home helps to unite the community and bridge some of the social, economic and political gaps.

What are some of the benefits of volunteering?

Donating your time to support those around you is extremely beneficial both for you and your community. It is statistically proven that people who volunteer regularly are healthier both physically and mentally. Individuals who have volunteered throughout their lifetime typically live longer and have better psychological well-being. In addition to the health benefits, volunteering gives people a sense of purpose. The fulfilling feeling of giving back and contributing to society is incomparable.

Giving back is also a great way to get to know your community and its citizens. When you volunteer, you have the opportunity to meet lots of new people. Working alongside individuals who also care about improving their surroundings will allow you to broaden your network of friends. Additionally, it will help you to better understand the circumstances of other members of your community. Having a broad, open-minded perspective of the different walks of life around you will help you to be an effective and empathetic citizen.

Matthew 25:35-36

35 For I was hungry, and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty, and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, 36 I needed clothes, and you clothed me, I was sick, and you looked after me, I was in prison, and you came to visit me.’
