The Community Needs Our Help—It Needs Us to Dedicate a Little Time.
Greetings, everyone! Manuel Rosario here.

Routine consumes us, and we get trapped in a cycle of repetitive activities.
We repeat over and over that we’re “too busy” and that time isn’t enough for anything else.
We avoid any additional commitments, using everything we have to do as an excuse.
At the same time, we complain about crime, young people, vices, corrupt politicians, and more, but we do NOTHING to change that reality.
Today, I’d like to ask you to start looking for information and analyze the best ways to contribute something of value to the community.
Perhaps you can participate in one of the cleanup events that different cities organize, or you can volunteer at one of the many organizations (religious or not) that distribute food to those in need.
- Are you familiar with Project LIFT, which works with at-risk youth?
- Do you know about the work the Boys and Girls Club does for children and teenagers?
- Did you know there are several foundations that distribute toys and food to children during Christmas?
- Do you know about the work shelters do to protect abused animals?
If you’re someone who only goes to church once a week, I invite you to get a little more involved by participating in any of the ministries, even for a limited time.
If you sing, play an instrument, cook, are good at decorating, or enjoy helping the elderly, there will always be a need for volunteers at the church you attend.
The community needs our help—it needs us to dedicate a little time.
Let’s start looking for the options that best fit our skills and begin contributing our grain of sand to leave a better legacy for future generations.
Blessings!
