Volunteering Can Make You Feel Better!

The funny thing about volunteering our time to a good cause or to people in need is it actually makes us feel happier and healthier.  According to HelpGuide.org, studies have shown that “volunteering and helping others can reduce stress, combat depression, keep you mentally stimulated, and provide a sense of purpose.”  

While we are all busy with our day-to-day lives, volunteering does not have to be a huge commitment of time.  In fact an hour or two each week may work for your schedule and still provide you with the opportunity to do some good and give back to your community.   

Experts explain that volunteering connects you to others, is good for your mind and body, and helps to bring fulfillment to your life.  It can even help to advance your career and/or provide you with inspiration for a new career endeavor. Moreover giving back reminds us of what is really important in our lives.  As Dr. Martin Luther King said, “Everybody can be great...because anybody can serve. You don't have to have a college degree to serve. You don't have to make your subject and verb agree to serve. You only need a heart full of grace. A soul generated by love.”

As the newest senior housing in Santa Fe, NM, the MorningStar of Santa Fe assisted living and memory care community understands the intrinsic value of serving others, especially seniors.  Currently we are seeking volunteers who would love to help out at our beautiful residential home. To keep it convenient, we will adjust our calendar to meet yours with flexible days and times.  We feel one-hour sessions are ideal and welcome volunteers from organizations, families or single individuals. You will have the opportunity to interact with residents one-on-one or in a group setting.  All volunteers must be at least 16 years old. Call today and ask to speak to our Life Enrichment Coordinator.
