Knox Area Rescue Ministries’ Post

How are your New Year’s resolutions going? Well, we thought we’d give you one more option to consider—VOLUNTEERING! Of course, there are LOTS of reasons we’d love to have you join the KARM family. In addition to those reasons, research shows volunteering is good for YOU. Here’s what a recent “Business Wire” article says about the benefits of volunteering: “Picking a cause and getting out to volunteer turns out to be the one single, achievable, sustainable and widely beneficial resolution for the New Year that checks off so many of the top resolutions on everyone’s lists. In addition to helping others, studies show volunteering can benefit the volunteer in many ways, including: • 96% report feeling a greater sense of purpose when they volunteer • 94% of people who volunteer report that it improves their mood • 76% say volunteering makes them feel physically healthier and reduces stress, which in turn may help reduce risk of heart disease, stroke, depression and anxiety” We also LOVE it when groups of employees come to KARM to serve meals or provide snacks in our courtyard concessions area. To learn more about volunteer opportunities at KARM, email [email protected]. We can’t wait to meet you!
