We come to this planet with nothing and leave with nothing. God has given all of us some talents and twenty-four hours per day in which to use them. Most of us feel a heavy obligation to provide for our loved ones during these days.

Many who feel they have been richly blessed, often volunteer some of these riches and time in a myriad of ways to the great benefit of their fellow citizens. Some of the volunteers provide needed help in health care, services to the elderly, to children and to education. These are a few of the recipients of volunteer efforts. Habitat for Humanity is one group that is helpful to their fellow man and is made up mostly of volunteers. These unpaid workers are vital in providing much needed services to others. 

 If one volunteers to help an organization, keep in mind he or she is making a definite commitment.  If you are unable to keep that commitment you are obligated to inform the person in charge, of your inability to honor your volunteered time.  Volunteers are as important to an organization as an employee is to an employer.  Someone is depending on you!

Habitat for Humanity in Clinton County is alive and well, thanks to the dedicated help of a few volunteers.  To provide for the services needed we hope for more active volunteers. We urge those who have not been active to renew their commitment to this worthy organization, and we sincerely welcome newcomers to Habitat.  Hopefully, we may continue in our stated mission to help provide adequate and affordable housing to a  Clinton County family in the near future.
