There are many ways to help a community and for many it can be as simple as donating to a cause that catches their attention. For others, they prefer to be part of a community effort through which they can get to know others that are concerned about the same topics and are willing to do something above and beyond simply contributing to the cause financially. There would be many opportunities like this if one were to look around. For example, some people may choose to give blood, others choose to help bring in new blood donors and others choose actually to gain all the skills that they need to be a direct collector of the blood itself. That is, of course, but one example and there are many others.
Rick Caldwell of Utah is a successful contractor in the world of construction, and he has contributed to a variety of causes over the years. He is highly tied to the community and health and well-being of the people within it. He assisted the cause of the Provo River cleanup with a generous contribution of $8000 to the Boy Scouts of America. It was through this assistance towards the cleanup effort that he was able to encourage many other fellow local businesses to contribute time and money to some community causes. His influence within the local business community was advantageous in getting the word out about this tremendous community cause that allowed for cleaner waters and areas for wildlife to enjoy.
