Moms Talk About Volunteering

Welcome to Moms Talk, a feature on Suisun City Patch dedicated to reaching moms and families. We invite you and your circle of friends to help build a community of support here in Suisun City. Additionally, you will have opportunity to ask questions or offer answers on issues and hot topics that concern you.

So grab a cup of coffee and settle in as we start the conversation today with a question from your Moms Council:

I would like my teenage son to get into volunteering. Any ideas of what organizations we can try?

My answer: Good question! Volunteering is a great way to get your kids into the spirit of giving back to, and working with, their community to make it better. 

If you are interested in starting him out soon, you may want to try the . They will be cleaning over a dozen locations within Solano County alone this weekend as part of a statewide effort to make our coastlines free of trash and other harmful debris.

You may also want to try Mission Solano, Solano County Library, and Food Bank of Contra Costa and Solano, who are often looking for extra hands. Whatever you and your son choose, know you are taking an important step toward not just his future, but the future of our community.
