Clearly, the faith community plays a key role in energizing people to serve others. Our experience is that faith often prompts individuals to serve others, and faith communities often organize volunteer opportunities for their members.
Brad Hewitt
I expect that anyone who comes in and says that they want to be trained up and volunteer and go, that they will be called.
Joe Mathis
It's great to see the people of Metro Detroit coming out to volunteer and help build homes for those affected by the recent Gulf Coast hurricanes. With all the Super Bowl excitement, it's nice for people to participate in an event that will make such a significant impact in people's lives while also being a part of the Super Bowl festivities.
Dave Daniels
Joel's vast experience as a volunteer in the Southern Tier...will undoubtedly advance the mission of the Red Cross, both locally and nationally.
Christopher Baker
We want to invite the public to the ceremony at the police station, so hopefully family and friends come by and take pictures of the group. We let everybody know that we're here and we want to bring more people into police volunteering.
Larry Leonardo
The percentage is reduced each year, until after five years the fire department is able to continue on with paid staffing with it's own funding. At a time when volunteer fire departments across the nation are struggling to obtain new volunteers, this cut really hurts. It means fire departments will have to look to the public for even more support.
Jackie Vaughn
We're beginning to appreciate that baby boomers aren't traditional retirees; they plan to be active, whether that means working, volunteering or continuing to run a business. On the other hand, affluent individuals may continue to work to absorb steep and ever-climbing healthcare costs when they retire.
Tom Hines
We have a fire department we have the equipment but we don't have the manpower. I was a volunteer fireman, I was assistant chief but it does no good to be assistant chief it you don't have any Indians to follow you into a fire.
Bill Pierce
I don't work a five-day week as a rule, and I've managed to fill that time up. It hasn't been that hard. I volunteer at school. I'm working because I love it. Yet, I don't not envy women who have a stay-at-home job, because you miss stuff.
Deidre Hall
We do a lot of volunteer work. We also volunteer for Faith in Action in Huntington. We spend about two or three hours a week taking people to the doctor's office or to the grocery.
Al Williams
It was the perfect opportunity to combine my professional experience and volunteer experience in one job.
Stephen Kaufman
It's an all-volunteer force. There is no draft. We aren't forcing anyone into the military. We are giving options.
Daniel Harris
[If voters aren't pushing for a change in the system, it's hard to expect members of Congress to volunteer to give themselves tougher competition.] You're asking people to give up an enormous amount of power, ... It's going to have to come from the outside.
John Tanner
This suggests an episodic nature to their volunteering, perhaps reflecting their graduation requirements or the need to engage in a volunteer activity to prepare for college.
Mark Hugo Lopez
Volunteer nurses that are working in other areas of the community come to us and went through Red Cross orientation.
Nedra Turney
We received a report from a volunteer storm spotter of a tornado in (northern Toronto). But we haven't been able to verify if there was any damage or if anyone else saw this.
Geoff Coulson
We're trying to overcome a devastation of biblical proportions. The help we've received from volunteer lawyers, law students, and others has lifted our spirits and let us know we're not alone in this battle.
Mark Moreau
One of the reasons we have been so successful as a staff is every single staff person was a volunteer before being a staff member.
Debra Conner
There's been a lot of ups and downs and a lot of meetings. When you consider this has been an all-volunteer effort, it's a good feeling to know we've met this milestone. Owning the building is a big feather in our cap. But it's still an uphill battle.
Bud Pisarek
A lot of people would come, and they would look at their home for a day and just be so They couldn't deal with throwing away all their life like that, so they would tell the volunteer groups to just throw everything away. They didn't want to be there to see it so you're kind of rooting through these families' lives and photo albums and everything, and throwing it all away.
Silas Davidson
After the fishing is over I think the people that volunteer come away from it just as happy as the kids. When they see how much it means to the kids it makes them feel good about what they're doing.
Tim Horton
You could compare them to volunteer firemen today. The locals knew how to handle a boat ? and they weren't afraid to launch one in a storm.
Robert Jahn
Push your kids on a swing, walk the dog, play a game of catch, volunteer for the neighborhood watch, carry groceries for your neighbor, take your toddler for a stroll, play catch, or help out in a community garden.
Liz Neporent
This year would be a great opportunity for us to fill all the volunteer spots. With Ashley's background in networking and knowing a diverse group of people, we can make this goal come true.
Ashley Miller
Until I would see what their operating expenses are, I can't quite be sure about their need. I feel New Haven is something we all depend on in town, but, to my knowledge, they will not open the books. That's another problem they might have with securing funds. When you have tax dollars going into a volunteer organization, officials have the right to follow up.
David Mcintire
The volunteer groups are wonderful at taking care of the responsibilities.
Billeye Rabbe
We hope (this program) will inspire others to become involved in some type of volunteer work. That was the vision of its founders: Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, Sen. Robert Taft Jr., and Sam Beard.
Bill Roberts
California Overnight has delivered daffodils for the American Cancer Society in San Diego for seven years and this will be the second year that we have expanded our employee volunteer effort to 10 markets throughout California. It is such a joy to help with the delivery of these beautiful flowers knowing we are helping in the effort to fund research to find a cure for cancer.
Laura Peterson
Not only do we go to the mountains every weekend, but because we are a club we volunteer our time and complete two community projects each season.
Julia Birnn
We're overextended worldwide, ... We have too small an Army for the job that we're doing, yet we can't increase the size of the Army because it's volunteer, and we can't enlist anybody.
John Murtha
I just want to thank everybody for coming out or volunteering.
Lorry Green
It wasn't enough and some of the other regulars didn't [participate] because of the hurricane damage and other things. We are going to request sites this year instead of waiting for them to volunteer. We got several complaints from the people up north in Palm Beach County about having to travel, but they could host. There are some beautiful sites up there.
Lou Confessore
I am amazed by the response. There are more volunteers than there are people actually displaced. People stood in lines in the parking lot hoping to get in to have the chance to volunteer.
Scott Erwin
We need 100 volunteers a week. We're six months into this and it's amazing the interest has lingered this long. We're got to keep it in front of people in order the sustain the volunteer growth.
Randy Foster
Our past research shows that adults are twice as likely to volunteer if they began participating when they were teens.
Diana Aviv
Volunteering was a foundation to help me grow and to learn in the ministry that I'm in today.
Carmen Caban
We have a factory running here. We have tons of volunteers. People pull up and volunteer and stay for a few hours to help with the stuff that's coming in.
Frank Harris
But the economy and family responsibilities have reduced our volunteer ranks to the point that we must expand our career staff.
Bill Gillette
A lot of the athletes from all 30 teams in the major leagues do give a lot back, ... Luis is one of those that when you say $1 million, personally, and 1,000 hours of volunteer work -- those are MVP statistics.
Wellington Webb
My wife was always willing to volunteer or help.
Harold Christensen
[Klien commended IBM for sponsoring the program and urged other corporations to follow. ] IBM employees are smart, highly motivated and thousands of them already volunteer and tutor in America's public schools, ... Now, many of them will become terrific full-time teachers with the company's strong support. I hope more companies and organizations will follow IBM's great example.
James Hunt
I want them to learn about community in my class, and I want them to believe in themselves. I want them to learn the value of volunteer work and that they can make a difference.
Diane Elswick
It's just awesome to have your staff volunteer their time and tips to accommodate this worthwhile cause; I am so proud of each and every employee and so grateful. It's our way to help our fellow Americans in need and I hope lots of people from our community come not only to support the victims but also to enjoy a great meal for a great cause.
Ron Oliver
Volunteering is the last thing that this generation is going to do on their own, ... so if this is what it takes to get them to volunteer, then so be it.
Travis Barker
One contingency from our (Dec. 12 meeting) minutes is to have an all-volunteer staff to handle (the shelter).
Tom Weaver
If anyone would like to volunteer, we'd like to have them. This is open to all performers to come and showcase themselves not only for this, but for the whole year 'round.
Patricia Lewis
I knew they had a new recording studio and I wanted to see if they would be willing to do a volunteer project like this.
Linda Watson
He was always cheerful, always helping anyone ... always the first to volunteer to take stuff on.
Bill Steele
We started a couple of weeks ago, but it will take a few months to put it all together. It's just people volunteering from work. Everybody is helping out.
Steve Mcqueen
Our new facility enables us to meet the increasing demand for flexible scheduling of large, innovative early phase studies while improving our operational efficiencies. We expect our design to support Northwest Kinetics' leadership role in meeting clients' changing needs as well as increasing the comfort of our volunteer study participants.
Jane Taylor
There's nothing people really have to do as far as membership goes. It's pretty much volunteering to raise awareness.
Sid Groutage
We have eight people on the list of April who are regularly volunteering. Quite a few are coming in as needed.
Helen Randall
I can't blame people, at this rate, for not wanting to volunteer.
Peter Tosh
This is the fourth year that coach Bias has helped with our basketball skills Special Olympics events. He and the members of the basketball and soccer teams at Fairmont volunteer and give us tremendous support for the competitions.
Deborah Osterfeld
There is zero chance any member of the Fortune 100 would ever pay corporate taxes ahead of time. Corporations do not have the slightest interest in paying corporate taxes early. They're not going to volunteer money to the government.
Clint Stretch
There were a ton of people wanting to volunteer for the project. We will accept all the help we can get.
Kathy Dooley
We're a watchdog group that has become the eyes and ears of where the tax money is going in Walton County. We spend a lot of time, through volunteer efforts, to analyze budgets, analyze expenditures and try to look at different government programs to see if there's an actual justification of benefit back to the taxpayer.
Robert Nelson
To get over half of our students to volunteer and stand out in the cold is pretty neat.
Mike Steiner
He dedicated his professional career to kids, and his retirement years to volunteer work, especially work with the credit unions.
Jim Fuglie
I volunteer to do this to give back to the community.
Cheryl Weaver
Once the new year rolls around, it will sharply increase. We think it has a lot to do with the fact that people are more scattered in December ... it leaves less time for them to volunteer.
Jason Willett
We have a group of women who volunteer who don't have to do this. They're all busy but they give their time and money to this. They have the same vision and same goals and want to make a difference in the community. It's a few people doing a lot of work.
Debbie Carter
The community is unbelievable. They feed them, many let them stay in their condos, they provide meals, volunteer - we could not do this without them.
Linda Bird
We're making an appeal to those to step up to the plate and volunteer. Without that response, we aren't going to move forward.
Tony Thornton
Volunteering is at the very core of being a human. No one has made it through life without someone else's help.
Heather French Henry
Volunteers receive a variety of benefits from their experiences. Whether it's finding new friends, learning new skills, discovering latent talents, gaining a new perspective or simply taking pleasure in knowing that you've helped a person in need, volunteering offers numerous opportunities to an individual to be changed and enriched.
Brad Hewitt
The American people don't see this as a No. 1 issue, so (Bush's team is) not really willing at this point to take a lot of action, which they fear would cost jobs. If it comes about as a result of other steps they're taking, then fine. They don't volunteer it because they don't see that they're going to get a political benefit for it, and it'll just make some people mad.
Christie Todd Whitman
We gave it to the Mountain Home Volunteer Fire Department and told them to do whatever they want to do with it.
Robert Cook
Between the bands and people volunteering, about 60 people will be involved in the benefit.
Roxy Harshbarger
As a kid, I loved being surrounded by mountains, creeks and animals, and volunteering with my mom on initiatives to help protect the environment. Being part of this contest is one important way I can help ensure we all get to experience the beauty and wonder of wildlife, such as the bald eagle, that enrich all our lives and make us proud to be Americans.
Amy Smart
I'm proud of you, ... I really appreciate you volunteering your time. Be very careful down there. You're the best in the state.
Mike Rutherford
Courtney's students, teachers and other students have signed up to volunteer to work the different shifts.
Cathy Austin
Some of their members are coming up. They are volunteering their time to help us put this on.
Susan Mouton
Most everybody who can has been a volunteer somewhere in town for some period of time. Like everybody else, we collected donations immediately after.
David Marschall
It was all volunteer labor.
Nancy Moore
It means a lot to my family that these people were willing to volunteer their time and their money, you know, to build a ramp for her.
Gary Besong
One volunteer said the animals are past being scared - they're blank.
Carol Wheeler
In the face of a tragedy of this scope, we simply have to do everything in our power to offer support, comfort and hope to all the people directly impacted by the hurricane. Our goal is to join forces on every medium to get involved, to volunteer, to contribute in any way we can.
Judy Mcgrath
Teens say volunteering is important to them because it gives them a new perspective and because they feel compassion towards people in need. Some also believe that if they help others when they need it, then others will help them when they need it in return.
Marcia Stein
As a veteran volunteer fire fighter, as well as a filmmaker, I wanted to share my experience of what it was really like at Ground Zero from the perspective of the rescue and recovery workers.
Lou Angeli
The dilemma, I found out, is that they?re primarily a volunteer squad. If you put very strict physical requirements on the squad, you may not have people responding to a call.
Denise Marshall
Habitat for Humanity is not real active here in Summit County. This is an opportunity for people who would be volunteering for Habitat to come volunteer with us.
Bonnie Osborn
A 10K is not a particularly unique distance for runners. The new MCM 10K breaks the mold because participants will experience the same wonderful amenities as the marathoners, tens of thousands of cheering spectators, great volunteer support, and energy unmatched in any other 10K.
Rick Nealis
The people we are targeting to volunteer are employed, might be mid-career and have families.
Wayan Vota
The way Jim and I look at things, we need to focus on service to the nation, whether it be in your local community or at the state level or volunteering, and that's the decision Jim and I have made. Instead of serving yourself, we should serve other people. I'm a firm believer in that.
Patrick Soos
I want to thank the volunteer firefighters without them things would've been ugly.
Brandon Hamilton
I think it motivates other people. They realize volunteering is something that can really help all kinds of people.
Anjana Chandran
I even worked on my first city commission race as a volunteer when I was in high school. My candidate did lose. And, I've always been involved in these kind of activities. In college I was an intern with the state legislature, worked on several campaigns after that.
Jeanna Mastrodicasa
We work with 4,000 people a year across Ontario, about 100 of those in Durham Region, And the centres use about 4,000 volunteers in total, ... It's usually a one-on-one relationship, and there's always at least one volunteer with a rider, sometimes three depending on the severity of their condition.
Peter Henderson
We are getting quite a bit out of the public schools. And a number of municipalities dedicate the money (they earn) to their volunteer fire departments.
David Oliver
Maybe they see the volunteer groups picking it up and light bulb might go off.
Kathy Lahey
He's the first one to volunteer to help.
Flo Mattson
You see the potential in kids when they have the right structures in place. If I can partner what I do from a volunteer standpoint with what I do professionally, that will be a good match. It's good to be able to give back to kids. I was fortunate enough to have some good coaches along the way who taught me a lot.
Chris Marshall
This is larger than any volunteer event we've staffed in the past.
Andrew Zalasky
Our biggest issue is, what is community service? Volunteering is obvious, (like) going to a senior center, soup kitchen, etc. With service learning, kids give a lifelong service (to their communities).
Brett Eckhart
It is always good to have the class under your belt if you want to volunteer. Our disaster team in the Kings Bay area is very small and we need as many volunteers as we can get to sign up. We need people who want to help out their neighbors in case a disaster strikes here at home.
Sarah Wood
We've looked at the pros and cons of tourism. Some people don't really want to see any change ? but with almost 100 citizens volunteering time or money toward the fundraising campaign, I'm confident that going ahead with the center is the right thing.
Carol Scott
I plan on being in charge of the volunteer things we do.
Abbie Alft
The volunteers are critical to the success of this program. Many of them give up their nights and weekends planning for this. You couldn't ask for better volunteer spirit.
Matt Coffaro
We will be moving forward with a massive volunteer training effort to support the affected area. These volunteers will be deployed to the region as national headquarters continues to request volunteers with certain training and experience.
Mary Miller
You want to make sure there is enough volunteer and personnel support to utilize the Museum on Main Street program to the best of its potential.
Bryan Lewis
People were worried that residents were tapped-out when it came to money or volunteering, but that's not the case. People know if we don't help ourselves nothing will happen. We will be the ones who get out, clean up and rebuild.
Dan Kibodeaux
What helps one Navy family helps the Navy, what helps one Marine family helps the Corps. We are all family. I hope that those who are involved with donating money to the fund drive know that it is needed, and that those involved in volunteering their time to the fund drive know that their work is important to both NMCRS and the Navy and Marine Corps.
Jane Roser
During the second phase, residents will be trained in the Incident Command System and do support work for police, EMS, public works and volunteer organizations that [offer] aid [during] a disaster, like the Red Cross.
Officer Perry Ferrera
We always wanted to volunteer, but never did it. People don't realize what they're missing. I can't imagine not having our littles.
Robin Riley
When he called me that night, he told me it was much more dramatic that I wasn't there. It was just wonderful (receiving the award). In my position as director of agencies I certainly have given volunteer of the year awards, but I'd never received one. So, this was really nice.
Fran Theos
Jim has been really very hands on in terms of working with the contractor and the architect. From that angle, he's really done an outstanding job and it's all volunteer work. It has been a huge job for him.
Eileen Gutierrez
I'm volunteering to learn American ways to organize events. I thought that the chamber would be a good start.
Ebru Ozgen
We also scouted around various neighborhoods in the area, looked under numerous bridges and culverts, and walked fields that held soybeans last year. No green kudzu or volunteer soybeans were found. The positive clumps/patches of rust were on old kudzu tissue. I did not see any kudzu breaking dormancy in this part of Alabama.
Ed Sikora
Many of the folks coming will have a chance to volunteer for a full range of activities, including clean up, Habitat for Humanity or helping people gut their homes.
Ernest Collins
The argument that this particular case is about money is the standard argument made in every civil case, because every civil case can only be about money. I can't give Bonny's kids their mom back, and I can't put Mr. Blake in prison. If Mr. Blake would like to volunteer for either of those, we'll withdraw all claims for money.
Eric Dubin
The swimmers are excited to perform at home and have family and friends see them at the state level. This meet will require many volunteer hours and our team is excited and preparing to host a great event.
Elyce Kastigar
Part of it is because our volunteers are awesome. They are very reliable. Everything went smoothly. Every volunteer who said they were going to come did. This is our eighth time and we have learned a lot.
Elizabeth White
Just amazing volunteer energy has been invested in this. It's not quantifiable.
Elizabeth Swank
Everyone tells me that I shouldn't have retired. I guess in a way I haven't I enjoy taking classes and volunteering.
Elaine Hanratty
Volunteering is vital, since coming to the realization during the first year of clinical rotations that one doesn't enjoy patient care is really a hard lesson to learn.
