When we talk about spring cleaning, its usually vacuuming, dusting, and picking up around our own houses - but there are some community-wide events coming up to help clean up Grand Rapids' great outdoors.

If you are looking to give back to the community during the holidays, AgeWell Services is in need of volunteers for their meals on wheels program.

If you've been looking for ways to help preserve Michigan's natural resources, the DNR is looking for volunteers.

In San Francisco a group called 'North Beach Delivers' has been going around every Thursday night and delivering food orders for different restaurants for free. So far, they've saved local restaurants up to $50,000 in revenue. ABC 7 reports that the group gives all of their tips directly back to the restaurants...

Instead of just dropping money, ring a bell this year!

Your good deed will earn you food & beer!

Congratulations to Lyle Gunderson! An inspiration to us all!

ArtPrize begins next month! The events leading up to the art competition have begun and that includes volunteer registration. ArtPrize will also host their Volunteer Kick-Off Party on Thursday, August 10.

A new playground is set to be built on the west side of Grand Rapids on June 16. The playground is coming to the site of the former Pulaski Park. Volunteers are needed to help build the park and donations are needed to build a trail.

It takes thousands of volunteer hours to make ArtPrize a success. Some volunteers work directly for ArtPrize, some for venues, others assist artists. Kate Gilmore's "Higher Ground" has a very unique volunteer opportunity. Gilmore needs women to wear white dresses and swing for one-hour shifts.

This 75-year-old woman has bigger balls than you. No, really.

Last week I sported my Wonder Woman Costume at Helen Devos Children's Hospital here in Grand Rapids. While I was there I had a special request to escort a young girl to one of her treatments because she was nervous. This girls name was Lola. Lola has leukemia and was a very impressive little girl.
