Description

Part 8: How Giving Back Can Make You Feel Less Alone  We're back with another installment of our How To Not Be Lonely In LA series.  Today, we're talking about volunteering your time to a cause, and how doing so can make you feel a lot less alone.  Call it selfish, but doing some community service is a really great way to create connections, broaden your perspective of life, and ultimately give you a greater sense of belonging.  Producer Megan Botel is at Growing Hope Gardens in Santa Monica to get her hands dirty in some soil and talk about the benefits of volunteering.  Guests: Carolyn Day, founder and executive director of Growing Hope Gardens; Eleu Navarro, garden and farm team coordinator; Cat Moore, director of belonging at USC.  Some places to volunteer around the city:  Heal The Bay  Downtown Women's Center Pico Union Project
