Volunteerism	“I actually volunteer for a “meals on wheels” program at a local church and sometimes I help deliver the meals even along with, you know, preparing the meals and doing other stuff there also.” “I volunteer down at - in kindergarten and first grade, the reading program - and I do that three days a week. And it's wonderful - and to me it's the highlight of my week.” “I feel like I have an obligation to humanity that I'm not able to fulfill” “I often think this is why I do so much for others. It's because I hear a thank you or that was nice or that was great because I never get it at home.” “We give out food to these people every day. But um, that's where I get my enjoyment, it's helping people.”	Participants' statements reflect a sense of well-being that is derived specifically from the act of helping others in their communities.
