Community service carries a reward that is beyond the obvious and tangible. Volunteerism is no longer just a résumé padder for college applications; it has become a graduation requirement for high school students in hundreds of school districts across the nation.

Stephen’s AIDS Dinner I feel it’s every individual’s responsibility to help others in their community and beyond. The weekly routine is to travel into New York City to help serve food at Stephen’s church to men and women who suffer from AIDS.
