Last year someone told me that groups like Operation Shoebox has too many volunteers...I don't know if that's true or not but it seemed strange to me..
Thanks!

I just started volunteering with Operation Shoebox. Yes there are a lot of people volunteering for them but I've never noticed anyone standing around looking for a job to do. Everyone keeps busy and every week there is more to do.
I moved to TV in October of last year and I have just began to volunteer on a regular basis. I took a while to sort through all the many opportunities. Right now I am working with Operation Shoebox, helping out with a 4-H group that is teaching sewing skills to youth, helping out with monthly craft sessions at an assisted living facility, and doing various sewing projects for various charities. I also try and volunteer in various positions at some of the clubs I belong to.
TV is a wonderful place to live and most of us have worked really hard in order to get here. As I see it though I worked hard I still am very blessed to be here and I want to pass on some of those blessings to others. I'm not sure I will stay with my current volunteer places forever, but I hope to be volunteering somewhere for as long as I have the ability to do so.
