As an all-volunteer organization, SaddleBrooke Community Outreach needs you!
We rely on an army of 300+ volunteers to implement our programs to feed, clothe, enrich and educate local kids. Volunteers are needed for both long- and short-term commitments.
Donating your time and talent clearly helps the youngsters who receive assistance from SBCO. But did you know that you also benefit from being a volunteer? Various studies have found that volunteering:
- Is good for your mind and body - feel healthier, improve your mood, increase your sense of purpose, keep mentally stimulated and reduce your stress level.
- Helps you connect to others - connections make you part of a larger community and engaged in making it a better place to live.
- Brings fulfillment to your life – being involved in meaningful and interesting activities can provide a relaxing, stimulating change from your day-to-day routine.
