Volunteerism is good for our nation's quality of life

One of the great legacies of President John F. Kennedy was the Peace Corps; young people heeded the call for community service, and in subsequent decades provided critical care to the needy the world over. There is no reason why this spirit of helping one another can't be inspired again by our nation's leaders at all levels of government.

Today, a very active charity is the American Diabetes Association (ADA). It is the nation's leading health non-profit organization supporting diabetes research, information and advocacy. Freedom of association has always been vibrant in America, and the ADA is a successful example of inspired volunteerism.

There are many ways to serve your community, depending on the gifts and talents God has blessed you with. Do your part to support others that are in certain areas of life not as fortunate, whether that be health, family, education or any other quality of life.
