Patsy & Erin Matsushita:

Patsy: Volunteering is actually a fun activity to do together. It makes it twice as fun for me. It makes me feel good to know that we are both doing something that could make a difference in someone’s life – even a small difference. For me, it is also gratifying to know that a quality that I truly value, the act of helping without expecting a reward, is also important to my own daughter.

Erin: It’s fun! Beyond that, my mom and I have a very special relationship. When we volunteer together, we have a great way of generating ideas and coming up with solutions. I appreciate that we have such a positive working relationship. In general, I volunteer because I truly enjoy helping people. The reward of volunteering and knowing you helped another individual is priceless.
