My son and I picked up trash in our neighborhood. Together, the two of us picked up more than I did on day 119 or on day 94 or on day 85 or on day 63, etc. Also, took the family to Fort Vancouver and the Cedar Creek Grist Mill.

Often, doing something is more fun with someone than by yourself. Giving your time is no exception.

If you’re having trouble getting started giving back to your community, try to get one of your friends to participate. If that doesn’t work, try signing up for a group volunteering activity.

Four hands can give better than two.
