    -Volunteering can improve self-esteem, reduce heart rates and blood pressure, increase endorphin production, enhance immune systems, buffer the impact of stress, and combat social isolation. (Research Summary: Graff, L. (1991). Volunteer for the Health of it, Etobiocke, Ontario: Volunteer Ontario.)

    -Volunteering lowers the risk of physical ill health because it boosts the social psychological factors that healthy people have. (The Effects of Volunteering on the Volunteer, John Wilson and Marc Musik, 62 Law & Contemp. Probs., Autumn 1999)

 13. Volunteering provides valuable services so more money can be spent on caring for the injured and orphaned animals. The estimated dollar value of volunteer time for 2010 was $21.36
