Tips On How To Become An Effective Volunteer For Table Of Plenty HMB

By Ann Nelson


While half the world pursues good urban lifestyles, half of it suffers from misfortunes in life. Sure it is true that hard work is a barometer of success and good life. However, a few unlucky individuals have been seen striving so hard, but luck has not taken their side. This is a painful truth but people in this situation should never be taken for granted because they deserve with equal rights as the rest of the society.

Extending help is not mandatory. Nonetheless, it pays to be part of a prestigious non-profit organization that touches lives of millions in the society like Table of Plenty HMB. The organization has helped a large number of unprivileged individuals be it with disability, homeless or old aged. And as the community is expanding, new volunteers are encouraged. So if you have the intentions to be one of them, here are some tips and advice.

Reflect on what you want. You should have that heartfelt push to do this selfless job. It is nice to serve others, but some people sometimes do this simply for the sake of exposure. There are charitable institutions that tolerate this but you should do this genuinely, not superficially.

Know what you get into. When bored, some people just dive into volunteer work simply to have something fill in their boring spare hours. Never be like them. Learn the facts as well as history of the community keenly before you sign up for good.

Know what you are there for. It is not a mere feeding activity. As a volunteer, it will be part of your commitment to facilitate activities in a large scope. You may be tasked to do the groceries, a mascot that gives participants good laugh, or cook who makes caldrons of soup.

Know who you will be working for. You will not be serving the elite and socialites. You will be dealing with the less privileged as well as seniors in the most cases. Do not make a fuss if you will be tasked to serve old grumpy adults sometimes.

Know your time. You must understand that you cannot serve two masters at the same time. It is important that you do this on your spare time only. If you have work on weekends, which is the usual feeding schedule of the organization, you may as well offer your generous service on the weekdays for other errands.

Know how to interact with others. In a group, there will always be a certain degree of interaction. If you are a loner who can just work alone, it is of course acceptable. But, it is also not a crime to talk to the people around you and give them a chance to become your great friends in the future. Who would know, your potential lifetime partner is just one of them.

Have fun and be yourself. Work is stress-free when you do it delightfully. Giving your own happiness to others by means of this feeding program is a definite achievement. But, more stress will be released when you revisit the child in you as you entertain the beautiful old people with a bowl of soup.
