According to the Mayo Clinic, Volunteering reduces stress and increases positive, relaxed feelings. Volunteers report feeling a sense of meaning and appreciation by spending time in service to others, both given and received, which can have a stress-reducing effect. At Second Harvest, we have individual and group #volunteeropportunities in #Lafayette #Harahan and #LakeCharles!

It's not about how much time you have, it's how you spend it. One of my team members had a goal to volunteer, but couldn't figure out when to do it even with Volunteer Time Off time allowed. I suggested they pick a day, request the time off now and plan to volunteer at that time. This morning, I volunteered at Hope Helps to pack bags of food for local children so they can have food during spring break. We packed 182 bags. How do you find ways to turn time into quality time? #volunteering #timemanagement #qualitytime

Three things we hotly debated in the kitchen during my recent volunteering stint at The Choir with No Name : 🤔 Why do people put butter in their baked beans? What can we do to help them? 🥪 Are you supposed to butter the bread when they are making tuna mayo sandwiches? 🧈 If you are making beans on toast, should you butter toast? One thing that was not debated: 🥧 Homity Pie is delicious (here is the recipe – thank me later) https://lnkd.in/d3vb3P7N Choir with No Name is based at St Martins Church in The Bullring. They provide an opportunity for people have experienced homelessness to come together and sing, perform and enjoy a hot meal served by volunteers. Thank you to Sharon Blackwell for organising this as part of Gowling WLG Responsible Business Strategy, and to the fabulous team at Choir with No Name. If you are a corporate organisation that provides volunteering opportunities to your staff, did you know that this generates around £16/hour of social value benefit to the local community? #WestMidlands #CharityWork #Volunteering #Choir #CorporatePartnership #SkilledVolunteering #SocialValue #LocalValue

Now this is big.....100,000,000 volunteer hours powered by Rosterfy 😳 🥳 *A little story here* We never meant to even launch Rosterfy...In fact, we proactively said no to anyone that wanted to use Rosterfy for the first 12 months of it's existence! A little background....In 2015 Bennett Merriman Christopher Grant and I were running our first business together Event Workforce in Australia. A company we launched at uni to help connect motivated university students to opportunities to build their experience and help get a job at the end of their degree. From 2010 to 2015 we grew Event Workforce to having over 20,000 workforce staffing over 1,500 events a year. We had spreadsheets going everywhere, staff had to re register for every event and to put it bluntly - we were giving both our clients and our workforce a crappy experience because we couldn't operate at scale. A feeling I know a lot of prospects have when we speak to them today! That's why we built Rosterfy to solve our OWN PROBLEMS...And hence why we said no to anyone that wanted to use the platform, we wanted to ensure we used the platform ourselves to learn and iterate before anyone else - and the initial intention of Rosterfy was simply to help us better manage our OWN workforce - not for anyone else to use the platform. But over the first 12 months of using Rosterfy, we began to realise that what we cared about was connecting good people to good work, and we could help make this impact on a larger scale than just Australia with a platform like Rosterfy. To think there's now been 100m hours of opportunities generated is crazy but at the same time it feels like we are just getting started - there's still so much to do! It's moments like these to reflect (briefly) on the people that took a chance on us early days (you know who you are!), our passionate team that has been with us from the beginning, our investors and partners and the support from family and friends along the way. Thank you. We are now live in 26 countries operating in 10 languages and over 50 passionate full time Rosterfy team members around the world. We're driven to be the best in the world at mass workforce management and now do we start to think of 1 billion hours??!!

Day 4: Volunteer your time to help others. Challenge: Volunteer your time to help others today. Volunteering is a great way to give back to your community and make a difference in the lives of others. It's also a rewarding experience that can make you feel good about yourself. Research has even found that when we volunteer, we live happier and longer!
