TEEM's version of #GivingTuesday is a little different then giving to one or more charities. Instead, TEEM has teamed up with Age-in-Place, a Washington, DC organization that, according to their website, "provides basic home maintenance services such as cleaning and yard maintenance to older adults living in Wards 4 and 5..." - DC area residents, this opportunity is talking to you. Plus, there is added incentive for you on exercise training sessions if you come out.
On December 26, 2014 from 9am to 12noon, join TEEM in a morning volunteer opportunity with Age in Place. If you are interested, contact derek.arledge@gmail.com, and your information will be passed on to Age-in-Place, 1842 Channing Street, NE, Washington, DC 20018.
Why Serve?
One of TEEM's values is community. It does not only involve community service. But, it more widely involves getting to know the surrounding community a little better in a manner that lets you exercise your energy. Serving in the community will serve your enthusiasm to improve your fitness because it is one of those innate feelings that touches you. Have you ever served at a soup kitchen and left wanting to make sure that you have everything tight around how you get food served to you, whether it is how well you grocery shop or how well you eat?
Fitness + Service
They intertwined. When you stay fit, you develop muscles or, at least, you maintain the strength of your muscles. If you are fit enough, then you can serve via the plethora of ways that there are to serve. Fitness plus service is not all about collecting hours for budding high school and college students. It is saving time for others and feeling rewarded.
So, who is willing to sign up? Who is interested?
With heart,
Derek
