Volunteering is probably the most beneficial way for you to help your community. President Bush thought it important enough to address it in his state of the union address. Bush stated "We will make a determined attack on need by promoting the compassionate act of others. We will rally the armies of compassion in our communities to fight a very different war against poverty and hopelessness, a daily battle waged house to house and heart to heart."
