Volunteer organizations in and around the 7th Senate District

My wife, Phyllis and I have always made volunteering a priority in our lives. We actually met 38 years ago while volunteering at Michigan's first-ever outdoor recreational camp for children afflicted with hemophilia. We continue our efforts by volunteering for March of Dimes, Relay for Life, Crop Walk, and the Canton Community Foundation, to name a few.

Throughout your community, there are many ways to volunteer your time and talent.

Listed here are organizations throughout the 7th Senate District and the metro Detroit area that are in need of volunteers. Take a look and see what might interest you.

If you are already a volunteer, I applaud you and invite you to check out other opportunities. If you are not currently a volunteer, I encourage you to devote time to your community. The rewards are tremendous. Make a pledge to make a difference in 2008.

I would like to hear your story. Email or write to me about your experience as a volunteer. We will share your story on my Web site to encourage others to give back. Also, if you take my challenge to start to volunteer in 2008, I'd like to hear from you.

If you have an organization that you would like listed on my Web site, please contact me at senbpatterson@senate.michigan.gov.
