Our friends at Rebuilding Together Kent County (RTKC) could use your help. This great local group is dedicated to keeping Kent County residents in their homes, helping out with household repairs (big or small), installing ramps for residents who need them, and more.

Why Volunteer? Because It’s Good For You!
From the RTKC website:
No, we aren’t making this up. Studies have found that when you stop thinking about your own problems and focus on someone other than yourself, your stress levels start to decrease, your immune system is strengthened, and your overall sense of life satisfaction increases. This is because helping someone else interrupts tension-producing patterns and replaces it with a sense of purpose, positive emotions, and high confidence levels. A recent article in the New York Times also highlights another benefit — staving off feelings of loneliness. Read it here (NYT subscription needed). [Or look here, for free, from the Mayo Clinic.]
