The number of people who have volunteered to help the National Health Service in England is awe-inspiring.

When the British government reached out to the public, they were hoping for 250,000 people, and had to temporarily stop accepting new applications when they received 750,000 willing volunteers.

Volunteers are helping the most vulnerable populations in all different ways: grocery store runs, making masks, and giving out free food, are just a few examples.

WOW! What an amazing example of the power of community and of love, during this challenging time.
