I’m a teacher and a single parent. I have zero time.

I volunteer teaching music at a performing arts school for underprivileged students, I've volunteered at various youth organizations over the years but this one is the best- we have former students on Broadway, in movies, on TV etc. These were kids who had to eat all 3 meals at the school because their family couldn't afford good food for them. It completely changes their lives.

I volunteer with County Elections to register voters.

We've had similar posts-but its good to get it out again-I recently moved my daughter and her boyfriend with 4 members of his family into my home. They were all living in a bad neighborhood with high rent and minimal space. We are now an extended family. I also have my ex-husband of 20 years who is terminally ill and disabled living under my roof. I have a nurse come in for him every day and recently added a ramp and electric stairway. I also help clients at the food bank with clothing,xtra food, gas money, etc. as I can.

I'm in the process of becoming a volunteer mediator through a local resolution center for the unified court system, but there's a lot of work yet before I receive state certification (for basic cases and parenting custody and visitation cases).

I spent my career helping people. Today I share the fruits of my garden with my neighbors. I also support the civil rights community. Anything I give will be of my own free will and without any outside supervision.

Yes, I’ve found a small town within a religious wasteland that has more progressive non-religious do-gooder organizations than you can shake a stick at! Granted, most are filled with ..old people, but I’m headed that direction, and it’s nice to appear young by comparison

And unlike their religious counterparts or immitaters, the non-religious groups do good for all. No need to be a member, or in a privileged class.. It’s parks, trails, food banks, books, concerts, gardens, fairs and educational opportunities for all! And I help

I am a member of the Lions Club and the local Chamber of Commerce. As a business owner in web design and hosting, I donate to local charities hosting space and design services. I also donate to the local Democratic Party and am a member of the local Democratic Committee. I am also on the Board of the Huron County Project Leadership - an educational program which readies local citizens for leadership roles.

I know and understand the Lions is a faith based group, but to me the end result transcends affiliations. I do have aspirations to form a local free-thinkers group which will perform similar community actions.

I have wanted for years to do something worthwhile, meaningful and fulfilling. I am a tad ashamed to say that I have yet to find anything that I have pursued or that seems like a good fit or that seems enjoyable. I shall put that back on the list of things to do. Thanks for the reminder!

The one thing that I do is give a little money to Planned Parenthood monthly, and I donate a bit here or there to various political candidates all over the country.

yes I help animals

I raised money over the Holidays for a local boys and girls foster home. One of the reasons I joined this site was to find more opportunities in my area to join together and give back.

Being Puerto Rican... Because of the Hurricane Maria... My Nephew created a money and food drive just to fill up a 34ft container. over 14-16 thousandth plus the container filled up, he made sure money and pallets all individually wrapped went to the right people. Many were distributed from a hospital and our relatives got needed supplies like generators, etc. It was hard work and it was worth every sweat. To me that was still my community. I couldn't volunteer to go to the island for being on a treatment that I couldn't miss. Granted I don't regularly volunteer, but lending hand is open 24/7 if you knock.

Yes, not on a regular basis, but I plan to do more.

I volunteered in the election as a Bernie delegate in the county and state caucuses.

I do... but charity is not restricted to religious... it is the calling of all those with a similarly caring heart. I knit shawls for terminal patients in hospitals, knit cancer caps, help with local food pantry and ohhhh almost forgot mittens and hats for local kids.

I am starting to sign up voters and am getting involved in an organization so I can work around the upcoming primaries and elections

Play with a group that does a sing along at a local rehabilitation center and nursing home. We play once a week for an hour and a half I play banjo with this group. Volunteer with my local library a couple of hours a week. Also volunteer at my church, property maintenance every Thursday morning (we have a 100 year old building). The band I play with has an open session every Sunday afternoon (anyone can come and jam with us). We just got done doing a slow jam for new people to get them up to speed.

Single parent at the moment, but if I get the opportunity in the future, I want to get back to volunteering more. I used to volunteer as a literacy tutor in Milwaukee and as a quiz bowl moderator on weekends (kind of like a referee). I've also worked a lot of public sector jobs and felt that it's been an outlet for my commitment to improving the community.

I don't volunteer. But my wife does...at the Cancer center here in Colorado Springs. She has a good heart. I buy McDonalds gift cards to give out to the homeless people here. Sort of selfish that way: give them a opportunity to buy food and not drugs.

We have a local atheist group "ASK" (Atheist Society of Knoxville). They adopted a highway, and I try to help pick up trash when I can. It's enjoyable to me, because you can see the immediate results of what we do.

I volunteer at a local animal shelter, and volunteer and teach self defense to crime victims when asked to do so

I used to be a Lion....but, then, I decided that my time would be better used by knitting for the local Veterans Hosp.

yep . I run the annual park party 100 people show to that and i run halloween with somewhere near the same turnout plus i pick up garbage on the creek walk every day

I’ve been a blood donor most of my adult life. I’ve also done adopt-a-mile highway cleanups with a couple of groups, ditto soup kitchen work.
