Why volunteer with Swannanoa Valley Christian Ministry? ​Giving to others can reduce stress, combat depression, 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 those in need and improve your health and happiness.
