HOW CAN YOU HELP YOUR COMMUNITY?

Volunteer

One of the best things you can give your community is your time. It’s more valuable than you think! We all work hard and lead busy lives, so it may be easier said than done, but if you’re willing to carve out a few hours each week to helping the community, you’ll wind up making a big impact.
Start searching, and you’ll probably find that your community offers countless volunteer opportunities. Some might require an ongoing commitment, whereas others will be one-off projects or events. Here are a few things you could consider doing:

Join a Big Brother or Big Sister program

Tutor underprivileged students to help them get ahead at school

Sign up to deliver hot meals to the elderly or sick

Give people a voice by registering them to vote, or volunteer to drive those with limited mobility to the polls come election time

Help serve food at a homeless shelter

Participate in school cleanup projects

If you’re the shy type and are less comfortable being in front of lots of new people, you can also volunteer behind the scenes. Hook up with a local charity and write its newsletter. Develop programming for your nearby community center. Offer up some sort of valuable service, and you won’t be turned down.

Find Love in All the Local Places in Pearl River County

Locally owned business owners are an important part of the communities where they live and work.

Business owners are aware of how their decisions may impact their community.

Local business owners are usually very involved in the community.

For instance, many small businesses sponsor local Little League teams, donate to the City’s Police and Fire Departments, are members of the main street program and/or the chamber of commerce, participate in community charity events,
or contribute to fundraisers and local non-profit organization, buy ads to support dance recitals, sport programs, the list goes on and on....

Help Make Our Community a Great Place to
Live , Work and Play by Supporting
Local Owned Businesses

Div.69" may refer to another organization of the New Orleans and Northeastern Railroad. (Photo courtesy of Mark Clinton Davis)
