Check out this awesome video from iStory Studio on the benefits of masking up in public during COVID-19. Its a simple thing to wear a mask, but it makes a huge difference in fighting the spread of the virus. The more little steps that we all take together, like wearing a mask and social distancing, the sooner we can all get back to spending time with the folks we love! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FossG0E6mi0&feature=youtu.be

Volunteering your time to support a cause you are passionate about is something you will never regret. It will enrich your life, familiarize you with your community, and connect you to people and ideas that will positively impact your perspective for the rest of your life. Helping your community is an opportunity for you to grow as a person, to better understand how you fit into the world around you. Although we're heavily utilizing our virtual world right now, we challenge y...ou to reach out to an organization of your choice and offer a helping hand! Not sure where to start?
