Volunteer Opportunities Abound

"Everybody can be great because anybody can serve. You don't have to have a college degree to serve. You don't have to make your subject and your verb agree to serve. You only need a heart full of grace, a soul generated by love."  -   Martin Luther King Jr.

It’s great to volunteer in service to help other.  This year during Montgomery County’s Day of Service at the Universities at Shady Grove Wendy Howard and other friends of WH Consulting volunteered their time to a good cause.  Wendy revived her crocheting skills to make blanket squares for Project Linus.

Volunteering can do a lot for your business. It can bring your employees together, teach them new skills and even help them to discover skills they never knew they had!  Volunteering can give you and your organization a chance to make a difference.  It’s also a great way to prove your commitment to your staff and to your corporate social responsibility obligations in a meaningful way. Getting involved in volunteering projects not only contributes positively to the community but can be a better way to do business; creating sustainable businesses through the best possible relationships with their communities and stakeholders.
