I was "volunteered" by the state to do unpaid community service. I picked up trash with one of those pinchers.

It was actually very satisfying work and I really felt like I did some actual good for the community. Its very meditative for some reason. I have been contemplating getting my own kit and cleaning around here where I live.

You could start something like that too. Its very low-level and could greatly improve the neighbourhood. Perhaps even inspire other people to do the same


EDIT: sorry, been suggested a couple times already :facepalm:

Nursing homes and the VA's are probably always needing someone to do something.

I used to volunteer at plowshares. Basically it’s feeding the poor and hungry so you cook and clean the kitchen. They get a lot of people doing community service there, but there’s also a mix of people who just want to help a little in their community. If you’ve ever worked in a commercial kitchen it’s not much different except the meal are simple as it’s mostly donated foods. I usually cleaned more than cooked but they need all types of help. It made me feel positive I was having a small contribution to the community.

I regularly volunteer at the meditation community I frequent. Our weekly meetings have 40-60 attendees and I help set up chairs, be a greeter, put out flower arrangements, take out trash, etc. Once a month we have family day and I organize outdoor games for the kids, and sometimes help with arts and crafts. 2 weeks ago we met and I showed the kids how to make cootie catchers, which was a lot of fun.

Once again I greatly appreciate all the feedback on this. Lots of great suggestions.

So I was browsing today and while I was looking more for something that would be helping people in need -- one of the opportunities that came up in the area was for a big cat sanctuary.

I'm really fascinated by big cats so to be able to help at a sanctuary and be around them is enticing for sure. And I guess there's no rule where I couldn't volunteer at two different places!

:lol: Don't get me wrong -- I still partake. Just trying to get it down to a fraction of what it used to be.
