Everyone Makes a Difference

The idea of helping others is not new nor is it a novel idea to volunteer to benefit a cause.  Sometimes people feel that they are a bit short of time or funds.   They might also assume that what they contribute 'is but a small amount or very little.'  To that I say, not true!!

Whatever one can donate, be it funds or a bit of time and effort in terms of assisting our charity it makes a huge difference in the lives of the students we serve.  Each time a person contributes $5, a student receives all the classroom supplies needed for one entire school year!  Think of it, a $100 donation essentially takes care of an entire class!  Quite amazing.

What if you volunteered for 10 hours throughout the entire year.  In one sense it is a small amount of time but that 10 hours is significant if looked at another way.  5 hours could be spent loading supplies in August and 5 hours could be used to paint a school on a Saturday.  Imagine 30, 40 or 50 participating. 

Look at it another way, let's say you can help for just 5 hours.  That time could be spent by collecting coats for 2 hours and helping to deliver supplies for the other 3 hours.  Again, this is a major contribution.

Whatever you can do to assist Schools Count is valuable and your help is greatly needed and appreciated.  You should never feel like your volunteer efforts are 'too little.'  Doing nothing is 'too little.'  I am always grateful for people stepping forward to help.  I look forward to hearing from you.

Thanks,
