10 Things All Community Volunteers Know To Be True

We're out there rain, shine, snow, hail, and everything in between.

1. You have blisters from ringing cowbells

And the sound rings in your ears

2. Your t-shirt drawer looks like this

You don't really wear anything but volunteer shirts on weekends.

3. Working with kids gives you more of a sweat than any workout

You truly convince yourself that your smile is stuck after a few hours of work.

4. You have an outfit specifically for volunteer work

You learned your lesson about wearing your favorite shoes to Habitat for Humanity

5. Because you know it's impossible to stay clean

No one can read your name tag anymore:(

6. You don't always get your favorite job...

7. ...but you've learned to make the most of it

8. Although at times it may be exhausting...

9. ...there's nothing more rewarding...

10. ...than helping others.

(while helping yourself.)
