What is the Extra Mile?

The Extra Mile highlights unique volunteer opportunities to connect with, serve, and share our good fortune and high spirits with our community. Opportunities range from hands-on service with small groups to large charity events. These are challenges to serve our community and, through that, ourselves, together.

Staying fit to serve.

Exercise can often feel selfish because it's extra time spent on oneself. But I like to think of it as “self-ish”, not selfish. Kept in perspective, and not taken to the extreme, regular exercise immensely improves the overall quality of our lives, helping us stay healthy and energetic, and allowing us to serve our family and community with greater vigor and passion.
