Volunteerism
My family and I are actively involved in our church. I participate, in particular, in men’s ministries and refugee support. My wife is a great cook so we often welcome people into our home.
Another big “cause” of mine is the “chauffeur” ministry that has me picking up and dropping off my kids at their many activities! 🙂
