Healthy eating.  Exercise.  Vitamins.  They’re all prescribed for a longer life.  Did you know that volunteering could also add years to your life?

A ten-year study at the University of Michigan found that people who do no volunteer work died at an earlier age than those who volunteered at least once week.  

Volunteering has added benefits: a sense of accomplishment, a dose of self-respect, and a boost of self-confidence. It can also serve as a reminder that, relatively speaking, your troubles might not be as severe as they seem.  

You can even help your résumé by volunteering at Navy-Marine Corps Relief Society.  While helping clients solve their emergency needs, you can enhance your job skills and knowledge of written and oral communications, public speaking, computer software programs, training, personnel management, and family budgeting.  Opportunities for personal growth help you increase your poise while you help clients achieve financial self-sufficiency.  

So, live longer, feel better, get enhanced skills and make a difference!

REIMBURSEMENT for mileage & family member care

The Navy Marine Corp Relief Society is in need of Volunteers to give a couple of hours of their time each week to help others in need. 

The mission of the NMCRS is to provide emergency financial help and educational assistance to members of the Naval Services - active, retired, and family members - when in need: to assist them achieve financial self-sufficiency and to find solutions to emergent requirements. 

NMCRS firmly believes in personal financial responsibility. By helping the service member and family through difficult times and by assisting them to develop their own problem solving capabilities, they will achieve financial stability, increase self-worth and reduce the need for future financial assistance. 

Without our volunteers, the Society could not meet the needs of so many. If you are interested in volunteering and would like more information, contact Bill Kennedy at 270-5418.
