Brighten A Day depends on volunteers for our service. But did you know that volunteering also increases self-confidence, fights depression, and helps you stay healthy? Volunteering is also one of the world’s most essential services, providing additional support for the most vulnerable and increasing the positive impact that organizations can make. 

At Brighten A Day, an entirely volunteer-run organization, we rely heavily on the support of volunteers like you to continue our services in the community. Brighten A Day targets loneliness, which negatively impacts mental and physical health, and promotes positivity around the world. Volunteering with our organization is a clear path to making a difference. Volunteering has no limits– we need your help no matter your age, background, or location to bring smiles to the faces of seniors and frontline workers. Volunteers of all ages can gain so much from giving their time and talents to our service organization, including the development of empathy, world perspective, a balanced outlook, and greater connections with their community.

Getting your business or organization involved can foster greater cooperation, leadership, and pride in your group. There are so many reasons to give your time, and there’s no limit to the benefits you will receive when you volunteer. Brighten A Day needs you on the frontlines of the fight against loneliness–you have the power to make a true difference.
