24 hours to community service
Published 04.27.2009 | | Comments (0) | TrackBacks (0)
What's the first hurdle keeping you from dedicating a day in your life to community service? Is it finding the time? Is it knowing where to go?
Well, WE TV's WE Volunteer Program is there to lend a helping hand.
The program helps women across the country achieve their goal of giving 24 hours to the community service project of their choice by doing a lot of the legwork for you. See, they match you with programs where you don;t have to give 24 hours straight in a row. Their idea is to help you give a few hours when possible to total 24, to help you see what a difference a day of service makes to your community, and to give busy women a way to incorporate giving back less overwhelming.
Volunteers plug in their zip codes and to find project near them, or even volunteer their time online. Look at a screenshot of the opportunities 5 miles within my zipecode. There are 955 of them. Wow!

About this Column
The Hotspot originally started out as a monthly-or-so feature written by our favorite storytellers. Usually products or services were highlighted that tickled us. Over the past year delightful innovations and introductions in the maternity and parenting space have increased, and we feel we need a space to share our discoveries with you. Daily news stories on parenting also inspire us to communicate with you. As such, the Hotspot is now the Alpha Mom daily blog. Finally!
From time-to-time we will feature products that we like. Since there is no pay for play, we only feature products that excite us. However, we do want to know about new product and service introductions and innovations so feel free to drop us a note at contact@alphamom.com.
