I have to wonder if one of the answers to turning this economy around is to share more of ourselves... volunteering. My grandmother, of course, scoffs at any form of volunteering (she does nothing for free- how maternal) which I think is funny and a totally personal decision. Right now, during this time in our society, we have an opportunity to build up our communities- ourselves. Now is not the time to turn inward, but to help all those who are in need- join a local literacy program, help out high school drop outs get back into education, help the homeless, work to improve whatever it is we need to do more.
We obviously can't and shouldn't depend on our government- we need to depend on ourselves. I'm going to investigate and post organizations that I think would be worth your time here in the bay area. So, stay tuned.
The great thing about volunteering is that you don't have to give money, just your time. What's even better is that you actually get something in return. It's better than any stimulus plan because you don't have to wait weeks and months for it to take effect! It's immediate.
