There are many ways for an individual to
have a positive impact on the local community. Albert Cyprys, a dedicated
volunteer, prefers to help out at the local soup kitchen, providing hot meals
to those who often can’t afford to provide for themselves or their families.
Though Albert Cyprys understands the value of helping those in need, he also
knows that it can often be difficult for someone to determine the best way for
them to give back.
Albert Cyprys offers some advice to people
seeking to make a difference. He wants everyone to share in the opportunity to
help improve a struggling person’s life.
People often need a cause or an organization
they can truly throw their support behind. Albert Cyprys suggests doing
research on the many local nonprofit organizations that work to benefit the
local community. Seek out a cause that you have experience with; something that
has either directly affected you or that you feel deserves more attention and
support. Use the internet, says Albert Cyprys, to find an organization that not
only helps struggling populations, but that is also capable of committing the
majority of its finances to direct community support. Too often, he says, will
an organization commit donations to administrative costs, which only dilutes
the output and support they provide the community.
