The Thankful Project Day 2: A Role You've Played



I'm linking up again with Chasing Happy for Day 2 of The Thankful Project.  Today's prompt is A Role You've Played.  

I had to really think about this one.  I'm a daughter, sister, cousin, aunt, niece, wife, mother, friend, etc.  I couldn't pick just one of those to speak about as they are all so important to me.  A Role that I have been so thankful for though is as a Volunteer.

I joined the Frisco Women's League in September of 2012 with two of my girlfriends.  What drew me to the organization was that they do a lot of volunteering for our community.  I had been looking into volunteering but wasn't sure of what type of place I wanted to do that at.  With FWL, there are soooo many opportunities to help in all different areas. I have volunteered at Frisco Family Services stocking their food pantry and handing out Thanksgiving meals.  I have helped hand out packets & bibs for the Gary Burns Fun Run.  I've met the sweetest families when volunteering for the Small World Angel Program which was founded by a Frisco ISD Teacher who just wanted to help families in need.  

Those are just a few of the volunteer opportunities that I have done while being a member of FWL.  And no matter how big or small the event is, I know that I'm making a difference in my community.

Share Our Hearts - We made Valentine's Day cards to be handed out at local nursing homes.

Frisco Women's League Christmas Party.  I have to add (because wow this is a bad picture of me) that I'm about 5 months pregnant here :)
