And he sat down and called the twelve. And he said to them, “If anyone would be first, he must be last of all and servant of all"

MARK 9:35

But I was surprised to learn that volunteering has positive implications that go beyond mental health. A growing body of evidence suggests that people who give their time to others might also be rewarded with better physical health—including lower blood pressure and a longer lifespan.
