Have you volunteered in the community this fall? There are a lot of nonprofits that could use your help.
We’re pushing to contribute 700 hours to the community this fall.
Here are a few places you could go to use some of the 40 hours of paid time that National Life gives to each of us to Do Good in the community. If none of these are convenient for you, let the Volunteer Committee know and there might be others.
