The Benefits of Volunteering Near Your Gainesville Apartment

Volunteering is an excellent way to better both a community and a resume. Whether people are organizing a road cleanup or helping to rescue wild animals, they can develop valuable skills while helping with a cause they’re passionate about. There are many worthy causes for which people can donate their time, and it’s easy to find a charitable organization in virtually any area.

Some of the most popular places to volunteer near one’s Gainesville apartment include:

  • Charities like Habitat for Humanity or Salvation Army
  • Religious groups
  • Food banks
  • Homeless shelters
  • Animal shelters
  • Schools
  • Parks

To get started with one of these organizations, call their offices or visit their website and look for a volunteer coordinator to contact. Ask how you can help and let the coordinator know if you have any skills that may be useful, and let them know if there’s anything specific you want to learn. Many organizations will require you to undergo some degree of training in order to ensure you are safely and correctly performing your duties, so be ready to pay close attention to any instructions.  Be sure to keep a log of any driving or other expenses you take on for the charity, as these expenses may be tax deductable on your next tax return.

“The scenery and space is amazing. The apartment leasing staff and maintenance staff are wonderful. I love that its a gated community and all though it's family and student oriented it's still extremely quiet.”
“This is a quiet gated community with nice apartments located in a great area.”
“We just moved in about a month ago. We had maintenance in so many times trying to get things set up for my disabled son - but they never complained. The grounds are beautiful. The people in the office are always polite and helpful. Very happy here.”
