Why volunteer?
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 promotes positivity around the world and targets loneliness, which negatively impacts mental and physical health. 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
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.
Getting your business or organization involved can foster greater cooperation, leadership, and pride in your group. See here for ideas for group events.
