Answer:
It is important to help people in your community for many reasons. To bring the community together, to support your communtity , and to expand your community morals.
1. Helping people in your community may bring your community together because say you volunteer at the local retirement center. You may have never been inside the center before, until you started volunteering. Volunteering is helping the people inside the center while you build new relations. Before you may not have known anyone inside the center.
2. You could support your community by helping people because you'd be helping people in need. Even if it's small it may even go beyond your local community. For example, donating. You can donate food and toys easily to support your local and global community. This is important because it's helping people in need. You may be gifting a kid in need the toy of their dreams. Even if it's a worn-out piece of garbage to you. "One man's garbage is another man's treasure."
3. Helping people throughout your community is a two-way street. According to scientific studies "Our Brains are Hardwired to Serve". Meaning that from the day we were born we want to give and when we do there are moral rewards. One example is when you give someone a compliment and this one small compliment makes their entire day better. It may make you feel good too. There are even studies on how giving back to your community can improve your mental health. Some things include lower blood pressure, lower stress levels, less depression, increased self-esteem, and even a longer life.
Giving to your community is an easy task. It could be anything from complimenting a stranger to donating food and time. When people help their community, they don't do it expecting something in return. But when you help people in your community there is an after affect. You gain new relations with others, you build up the people around you, and everyone feels good.
Hope this helps!!!
