    Your Hometown Podcast Little Falls: From Recovery to Helping Others

    Volunteering your time to support a cause you are passionate about is something you will never regret. It will enrich your life, familiarize you with your community, and connect you to people and ideas that can impact you for the rest of your life. Research has shown that people who volunteer regularly are healthier, typically live longer, and have better psychological well-being. Bob Dombrowski has spent most of his life involved with some type of charitable organization. He learned the value of support after his father died suddenly leaving his mother to care for three young children, and later in life when he battled alcoholism. According to Bob, those struggles “just made me know what it's like to need help." Today, Bob devotes his energy to making sure others don’t experience the pain he knows so well. He became a counselor to help young people overcome their addiction and he frequently donates his time assisting the St. Agnes Food Pantry.
