It's a pretty common mistake to think of volunteering or making a donation as just something nice that people can do. Sure, it may make us feel great about helping, but volunteers and donors have an enormous impact on the health and well-being of communities worldwide. Volunteering and helping others can help you reduce stress, combat depression, keep you mentally stimulated, and provide a sense of purpose. While it’s true that the more you volunteer, the more benefits you’ll experience, volunteering doesn’t have to involve a long-term commitment or take a huge amount of time out of your busy day. Giving in even simple ways can help others those in need and improve your health and happiness. 

With the help of the Denver Lions Foundation, we are introducing a new series to our Roarings that we hope to feature at least once a month called: Where There's a Need, There's a Lion in the hope that it will help remind you of the important work the Denver Lions do, (even if we aren't always aware of it) and encourage you to keep volunteering and making donations.
