Volunteering - the beneficial side effects | Eric Cooper | TEDxSanAntonio

There are key ingredients of living a healthy lifestyle. Make sure your wellness strategies include the right mix and dose. To live as long and as well as you can, start to volunteer. Not only will you make a difference in your community, but you will benefit from the side effects of service. Eric Cooper is the President and CEO of the San Antonio Food Bank. Through his dual strategies of feeding the line of the hungry and shortening that line, Eric has received national recognition. It is this holistic approach to serving the entire community that has garnered community support while delivering measurable impact with exceptional efficiency. The San Antonio Food Bank is ranked in the top 2% in the nation for operational efficiencies by Charity Navigator. Eric’s business strategy has also been highlighted in the Wall Street Journal and Huffington Post recognized the San Antonio Food Bank among five not-for-profit organizations to watch. National Geographic highlighted Eric’s commitment to building partnerships, sustainable agriculture, and the food economy. Eric works tirelessly at the Federal, State and Local level to reduce rates of Food Insecurity and Poverty while increasing access to healthy foods, believing that everyone should have access to good nutrition. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx

Volunteering brings me immense happiness and fulfillment to both myself and the recipient. By giving back to my community, I find a sense of purpose and connection beyond my professional career. Volunteering fosters gratitude, personal growth, and meaningful relationships. Volunteering allows me to directly impact lives while also enriching my own. It is a fundamental principle of humanity. Giving back to humanity is not just a selfless act, but a source of profound joy.

I enjoyed listening to Eric!
The three key points of how volunteering can help you live a longer life are:
🔳 Make the connection
🔳 Make it pure
🔳 Get the right dose
Hope this helps! 😊

[@jonquindiagan7625]

Thank you for sharing your experience sounds like a great opportunity

[@kashs260tv]

I'm volunteering for the health benefits is not altruistic. Therefore it is impossible to be altruistic. Another reason is to not be bored, again that is not altruistic. Only if you somehow volunteer anonymously then it would count.

[@ddupersuperman]

Goodness 🥺 this is an amazing message

[@Sam-fp8zm]

fascinating. thats why the bible says Acts 20:35 New International Version (NIV)
35 In everything I did, I showed you that by this kind of hard work we must help the weak, remembering the words the Lord Jesus himself said: ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive.’ ”
