From The New York Times, December 1, 1988
by Jane E. Brody
"As some 89 million Americans have already discovered and researchers have documented, volunteering can enhance self-esteem, foster a sense of accomplishment and competence and act as an antidote to stress and depression. In fact, some studies have shown that people who volunteer their services tend to be healthier and live longer than those who do not volunteer....
"While skeptics may believe that people who volunteer are healthier and happier to begin with, many volunteers insist it is the other way around. My husband started working in the park to fight off emotional depression. His justifiable pride in the many erosion control projects he completed was a more effective antidepressant than any medication."
