Helping others reveals the best version of yourself.
In 2020, consider getting involved and volunteering your time to a local cause. In 2019 we held a benefit concert for the families staying at the Seattle Ronald McDonald House. As a volunteer Kitchen Supervisor at the RMH, a Healing Music musician at the Seattle Cancer Care Alliance and warehouse volunteer at a local food bank I see the gifts of love and hope happen every day.
“Volunteering at the Ronald McDonald House touches lives. You can see it in the faces of the heroic kids and caregivers in their daily battles. What we do makes their day a little less stressful and creates a little more happiness, and it all starts with me. Imagine if the whole world did that?”
