STARS - Sisters Transportation and Ride Share

April is National Volunteer Month. In America, we have a 250-year tradition of volunteering. Our first government was all volunteer. The Colonial Army was all volunteer, and colonists had been volunteering to help their neighbors for a hundred years before July 4, 1776.
Americans give more of their time to volunteering than any other country. Why? Because it is a defining part of our identity. Because it is patriotic and a part of our cultural DNA. When a hurricane hits and fishing guides from other states hit the road with their drift boats in tow, to help move flooded people to safety, it is not because they are paid. It is because they have been surrounded by the notion of volunteering since they were in grade school.

In this year of our 250th Anniversary as a nation, consider what it could do for your community and FOR YOU, to join a team of volunteers. And yes, it would be good for YOU to volunteer. On a recent PBS segment on volunteering, one volunteer said, “There’s a certain pride in just stepping up, and filling a need and not putting a price on it.” Volunteering says that YOU matter, that YOUR contribution makes a difference.

STARS wants you on our team. We hope our posts will inspire you to join in and experience the good feelings that come from connecting authentically with the neighbor or new friend who needs our service. When we help our riders to get to medical appointments, we are helping them to stay independent and thriving. It helps us who volunteer to thrive, as well.To volunteer visit https://www.starsride.org/drive-for-us or https://www.starsride.org/dispatch-for-us.
