This Week’s Volunteer Opportunities at Helpline Center

A volunteer, by definition, is a person who willingly gives of their time and talents in the service of a cause, or other people. If you are such a person, looking for opportunities to change the world around you for the better, the Helpline Center in Sioux Falls is a good place to start.

This week and every week they have a wide-ranging list of people and places who could use a helping hand and a smile.
