What is Volunteering?

Volunteering is performing or offering to perform a service of one's own free will without regard to pay. Following Hurricanes Katrina and Rita the desire to serve and lend assistance was strong among people throughout America. Volunteers help build better communities through lending their time, talent, and effort to various causes.
