Becoming a volunteer is a decision to give something that is genuinely finite. Time, specifically — the hours of a week that could have gone other places and instead are going here, to this organization, to this cause, to these people or animals or spaces that need showing up for. It is an act of caring that asks nothing in return and produces a kind of satisfaction that is hard to get from the parts of life organized around personal gain. They may be stacking shelves at a food bank or walking dogs at a shelter or tutoring kids after school or doing something in their community that nobody else stepped up to do. Whatever it is, they showed up, and they intend to keep showing up. The gift for them is something that acknowledges this choice and makes the showing up a little easier or more comfortable or simply more acknowledged.
