Getting Involved Makes a Difference

June 27, 2011 - PRLog -- Getting involved in your community can make the world of difference for someone in need. Our lives can be busy from day to day with work and family. While it may seem like we don't have an extra minute to give, there are people in our communities who need a helping hand. Sometimes all they need is someone to talk to on a Sunday afternoon. There are thrift shops in your neighborhood that donate a large portion -if not all- of their sales to abuse shelters or recovery programs. Many times all they need is a couple hours of your time to fold clothes or price store items. Meet Lloyd Norling. Lloyd Norling believes in the power of giving back from volunteering in the community. If you're not sure where to begin you can always call a local church or call the social welfare office.

Getting active in your community is another way to find out how you can do your part to help-not to mention the fact that you can get to know your neighbors. Often we don't think we can make a difference, when all it takes in reality is one person to step forward. Often our communities depend on volunteers to help keep it clean or to help in other areas. If we simply turn a blind eye then we are ignoring our own community. Want to learn how you can get involved? Visit Lloyd Norling's new blog-site at: http://lloydnorling.com/active-in-community-2/. Lloyd Norling's blog article will give you the 'how to's' on becoming active in your community and lending a helping hand.


Have you ever thought of spending time with a child who lives in a single parent home? Often these children face the challenge of having only one parent and lack having the influence of the other parent that's well needed. A 12 year old boy may not have a father who is actively involved in his life, or a 10 year old girl may need to spent time with another female who can act as a positive role model. You can become a big brother or a big sister and change the life of a child in an instant. Want to learn more? Visit Lloyd Norling's new blog-site at: http://lloydnorling.com/big-brother-or-big-sister/. You won't only be helping a child, but you will be giving a single mom or dad a break as well. It can be stressful trying to juggle work and taking care of kids as a single parent. All it takes is a couple of hours a week on your part and you can make a difference in the life of a child.


Yes, we are busy trying to juggle our own busy lives. But we can still show someone we care by getting involved in our community. To read more on how we can do our part log on to: http://lloydnorling.com/category/active-in-community-2/ to read more blog articles by Lloyd Norling.
