Just-1-Hour Volunteer List

A bad neighbor is a misfortune as much as a good neighbor is a great blessing.   Hesiod

Which one are you?

It’s scientifically proven that people who donate time and energy to charity (even money, to a certain extent) get feel-good chemical squirts in their brains. This is known to psychologists as “helper’s high.” Also, studies show that accepting the generosity of others makes the accepters’ as well as the givers’ brains squirt feel-good chemicals. Want to get some feel-good squirts? You may have not noticed, or perhaps you noticed but ignored, a resident’s need that’s not being met.

You may be a volunteer with skills and abilities that you want to share. You may be a recipient (temporarily or permanently) unable to do an important task, but reluctant to ask for help. By matching residents, the Just-1-Hour program helps create a community of care and concern.

To add your name to the VOLUNTEER LIST, see below. It’s also available in the Just-1-Hour box on the wall at the clubhouse. For more information, contact Lisa Jackler at liaccounting@outlook.com.
