Volunteerism
Volunteering your time and energy is a great way to support an organization or cause that you believe in. And if you need a little added incentive, studies have shown that volunteering can bring health benefits as well. Today we'll talk with Elizabeth Lloyd, President and CEO of Volunteer Hampton Roads, Gail Perry Johnston, author of The Social Cause Diet, and Pam Grout, author of 100 Best Volunteer Vacations to Enrich Your Life. We'll also learn about the recent winners of WHRO's Community Impact Awards and the ways that they are working to make a difference in Hampton Roads.
