My life is truly blessed and one of my new years resolutions is to give back to the community. I am looking for non-profit, church groups, child care centers and other awesome groups in the Port Saint Lucie, Stuart or Fort Pierce area. I have some awesome ideas and would like to donate my time and efforts to these groups to produce extra sources of funding for these worth while causes. I want to be very clear that I am not in this to make ANY PROFIT whatsoever! If you have a group you'd like me to know about, please contact me.
You can contact your local Volunteer Center. Many hospitals need volunteers to deliver flowers, gifts, help with oupatient surgery even. My duaghter went in for surgery and a volunteer was there to comfort her and give her juice and stuff before i was allowed back in. Check your local paper for volunteer opportunities too. Congrats to you for helping others. Hopefully one day i might be able to fit something like that in my life.
The YMCA is always looking for volunteers!!!
hello D. i am also 24 and pregnant with my first .. where are you from?
I would check with Mustard Seed in Fort Pierce, they do a lot of good in this area and I know they are always looking for good volunteers.
D.,
You may want to check with various organizations for the disabled. While Florida ranks 25-26th for median income, it ranks 49th for funding for the disabled.
It takes two or more years for a family to get government funding, and I doubt if it is enough. The organizations are always struggling to find more funding and the workers go years without even a penny pay raise. Also, many of the lower income families do not receive services-perhaps because they do not know how to get them or even that they exist.
You could help a local organization with fundraising and/or reaching out to lower income families and help these families/individuals get the services that they are entitled to, deserve, and need.
Good Luck
