Volunteer on Make a Difference Day | May 5th

“I participated in this before and I loved it. I remember going to an old lady’s house who lives alone, can barely walk, with a HUGE backyard full of leaves. I remember how grateful she was that we helped her, she made tea and cookies for us and couldn’t stop thanking us. I went home feeling so great about myself.” -MA’RUF Member
