Living on a beautiful Florida barrier island, I’ve seen firsthand the incredible work local nonprofits do to protect our environment and support our community. But finding volunteers willing to lend a hand here isn’t always easy! I recently shared a blog exploring the unique challenges our island nonprofits face in recruiting volunteers. From the logistics of getting here to balancing tourist attractions, and even dealing with hurricane season —the hurdles are real! But with some creativity and community support, we can overcome them. If you’ve ever wondered how you could make a difference right here in our island paradise, I invite you to check out the blog. You’ll see the obstacles and get some fresh ideas on how to help! Let's keep our island thriving—together #Volunteering #Nonprofit #FloridaLife #CommunityImpact #BarrierIslands #IslandLiving #GiveBack
