One of the best ways to find fulfillment is in serving others. Currently, Lorice and I volunteer with the Cedar Rapids Animal Care and Control shelter. These are dedicated folks doing a lot with very little, especially since the flood of 2008 which left them homeless. They're making do in a temporary facility that is far too small and not designed to be an animal shelter. I created a page to help get their message out, Please consider visiting the facebook link on the left.
I also have enjoyed volunteering with Habitat for Humanity and look forward to getting connected in the Marion/Cedar Rapids area this summer.
The key to getting started is trying different things. Volunteer in many different environments until you find one that scratches your itch, then make volunteering a regular part of your life.
