[Community-service] We don't volunteer?

[Bridgit Kuenning-Pollpeter]

I know few people in general who volunteer, so I'm not sure it's more
prevalent among blind people. I suppose it depends on the individual and
their level of confidence/skills/opportunities available. Also, depends on a
person's definition of volunteer. To many, in my experience, when they think
volunteer, they think of The Salvation Army or homeless shelters or Habitat
for Humanity or something along those lines. Some though, volunteering is as
simple as working the church daycare on Sunday's or teaching Sunday school
or offering to clean up a neighbor's yard or helping out with school
functions for your kids, etc. So a lot of variables go into this question.

Hi everyone,
I was talking with someone recently who pointed out that in their opinion,
blind people seem to have a real lack of interest in volunteering.
They really got me to thinking about their conclusion, and I wanted to ask
you your thoughts.
Do you find that blind people volunteer?  Do they do so more, or less than
others?
Do they just have no interest at all?
If not at all, why?
