Why Nonprofit?
Whether it's supporting a cause you are passionate about financially or with your time there's a nonprofit for every interest or passion. Nonprofits are organizations that are set up throughout the world with the intentions of making a difference or change. It could be an art gallery, a café, or a humanity type organization, there’s something out there that everyone can contribute to. Nonprofits can act as an outlet for you to give back to your community and even if you aren’t able to change the world for everyone, you can for a few people. After living in the High Country for 3 years while attending school, I have seen different nonprofits and how they affect the community around them. Located on King Street in Boone, NC there’s a nonprofit called F.A.R.M. Café and it stands for feed all regardless of means. This organization provides hot, nutritious meals for the members of the community regardless if you have the means to pay for it or not. They allow you to come in and either pay for your food, volunteer to pay off your meal, or take a meal that has been covered by donations. Nonprofits like these are making a difference in people’s lives who may not can support themselves at the time.
