A unique benefit
Meaning and purpose have value for each of us at any age, no matter the condition. A Community Together helps members achieve a sense of purpose through our volunteer program where members are also volunteers. No matter what the limitations, each of us is capable of giving something. Perhaps you taught French and can now tutor others, or you could stamp envelopes or be a friend who calls someone who is lonely. Something is always needed. You can get involved with A Community Together and feel good by doing so.
