"In this frank, funny, and useful guide to giving back, Levinson dumps the 'holier-than-thou' perception of volunteerism and gets down to the nitty-gritty. Do you just want to write a check? Great: here's how to make sure the money goes directly to the cause. Worried about going to an unfamiliar neighborhood, or can't stand to be near a nursing home? Don't fret or feel guilty: there are dozens of other ways to pitch in. Combining personal anecdotes and relatable stories about fellow volunteers with prescriptive advice, Everyone Helps, Everyone Wins offers both traditional and offbeat ways to contribute to your community"--Cover, p. 2.
