My Nonprofit Reviews

Each of us at times will sit in our comfortable chair in front of the TV and say, "oh I need to volunteer somewhere"!! Sounds wonderful but 90% of the time is does not happen. I was one of those individuals. I finally pushed my self out the door to go and meet with CRRC! I did that because they lost a valued volunteer and I heard such good things about her and what she was doing at CRRC that I wanted to try and fill that void. My first assignment was bagging groceries. Sounds easy ?? Well let me tell you that when I would go home, I was exhausted because the pantry is soooooo busy. I was never aware of the work the pantry did nor the number of clients served! It was very humbling and gratifying that they allowed me the opportunity to work with the staff, the volunteers and the clients. Now I am an active Board Member!! I would like to get on my soap box and state that a high percentage of Canyon Lake residents have no idea of the "gem" they have in their community. I continue to work with CRRC and promote its efforts anywhere and anytime that I can do so!! VOLUNTEER AT CRRC!! SHARE YOUR KNOWLEDGE, ENERGY AND HEART WITH THOSE IN NEED!!
