Cutline: Volunteering is an act which both humbles and builds pride simultaneously. Few other experiences can rival the sense of accomplishment that comes from seeing someone else’s dire situation, helping them when no one else will, and making a difference in their lives. Volunteerism benefits Ames by assisting with charities such as shelter services, in-home assistance, meal programs, clothing closets, litter removal, and landscaping in Ames’ parks. Volunteerism and community service frees up significant government funding which can then be spent on additional philanthropic programs.
