text: When students partake in community service, not only are they helping the community and helping themselves, they are helping to raise the property value on homes. If the streets get cleaned up and people hear about how nice our community is, then more people will want to join our community and be apart of a special group of people always helping each other out. Participating in the community would also lower our number of obese people considering that you will be getting active and not sitting home on the couch with potato chips, watching television or playing video games. It would lower your electricity bill since you will be outside more.
