Quantity is important but also important in ranking where one ranks service is the level of sacrifice one might make in volunteer selfless service.

I have seen others volunteer in areas that others deemed to “messy” or not politically correct. Volunteering service to make the world a better place in the face of losing friends, family and money is quite a sacrifice.

For example, those people on the walls of the Holocaust Museum who are considered Righteous Among the Nations carried out acts of courage that could cost them their lives. They were instruments of selfless service of the highest level.

Volunteering is important. All causes are good. But, if you hold a contest for the best of the best, please consider the quality of the selfless service.
