Volunteering in America
Sep 12, 2017
Few countries are as generous as the United States when it comes to volunteering.1 One quarter of Americans donated time to an organization in 2015. One need look no further than the outpouring of assistance in response to recent natural disasters for powerful illustrations of American civic-mindedness. In 2006 and 2007, over a million volunteers joined the recovery effort in the wake of Hurricane Katrina. One year after Superstorm Sandy, the Federal Emergency Management Agency reported that, “some 173,544 volunteers had invested more than 1 million volunteer hours in the Sandy recovery effort.”2 And already, Americans have responded to the devastation of Hurricanes Harvey and Irma with characteristic generosity.

Phillips offered to sell the couple anything else in the store, even a pre-made cake, but citing his Christian faith Phillips declined to design a special cake just for the couple’s wedding.
