The world needs more people like you!! \n\nHere are some websites you can try:\nhttp://www.1800volunteer.org\nhttp://www.pointsoflight.org (The Points of Light Foundation)\nhttp://www.cns.gov (Corporation for National Community Service)\nhttp://national.unitedway.org (The United Way)\n\nAny of these sites should help direct you to some local opportunities. You can also check with your local volunteer center to see what's available. \n\nFailing all that, check with your local Salvation Army, Rescue Mission and churches/synagogues. They will probably have some opportunities avaialable!\n\nGood luck!

If you really want to give something back to your old neighborhood, check with the local hospital there.  There are usually all kinds of worthwhile places within the organization that could put donations to good use.  (To the children's ward, cancer center, a memorial contribution, etc).  Also I would check into a homeless shelter or somewhere in need of donations to feed the needy, or perhaps even the animal shelter.  And of course, there's the church.  Just put your heart into it and see what has touched your life and go with it.  And good luck to you!  You're very thoughtful.

You can try coffee shops in the area.  Many of them have bulletin boards that will let you post notices on them.  You might also want to contact churches; they might be willing to plug your program during the annoucements.\nIf you need volunteers, you can also contact the high school in the area.  Often, high schoolers need a certain number of community service hours to graduate, and many also want to be involved in volunteer programs to look good for colleges (and some are motivated by purely altruistic motives).

I donate frequently to the homeless shelter, work in the soup kitchen as a volunteer, etc.\nMost homeless shelters will gladly accept clothing, blankets, pillows, toilet paper, dishes, beds, and just about ANYTHING you can think of (toothbrushes, combs, soap).

It's been a while since I lived in BC, but I believe there is a Blue Book of community organizations and supports.  Also, there is a community drop in centre downtown (I think it's called The Gathering Place...it's across the street from the BC Persons With AIDS Society) they would have a list for you.  Check also if there a contact number like in Calgary (ours is run by the City of Calgary), we have 211 which connects us to a database of all community services.  You can also contact the United Way, they may be able to refer to a listing of shelters.

It all depends on how old you are, what you are interested in doing, if you are in Arkansas and wish to travel abroad.... It all depends. I love to volenteer and do it quite often. Also there are different ways of volunteering. For instance you could donate money, crochet/knit items for through micheals craft stores, gather friends and family and plan an area to pick up trash. Sometimes you could even walk into businesses (hospitals) and say I'm here to help. Of course most places you go will require some paperwork saying that you are responsible for yourself and yadda yadda yadda. Its getting colder and shelters will be needing blankets and volunteers to serve meals.  Those are some ideas but here are some actual site you could search. Good luck!

I work with a local Catholic Charities' in the Refugee Services department and assist many Somali clients. Our agency is constantly needing volunteers and I assume that's the way it is in all non-profits and Catholic Charities. \n\nI did a little research and found a Catholic Charities in Portland, Maine. I encourage you to contact the Volunteer Coordinator. Good luck to you and thank you for your interest!\n\nCatholic Charities Maine Refugee and Immigration Services\n250 Anderson Street, Portland ME 04101\n\nVolunteers and Donation Office: (207) 523-2721 or jbabich@ccmaine.org\n\nPS  Don't let the name fool you. You DO NOT have to be Catholic or convert to receive services or volunteer with Catholic Charities. :)

You might want to check into your local Work Scource program and also if you have any "Homeless" shelters around where you live they may also have some information. The local employment office is another.Good luck!!!

If in Alabama, try Disabled Veterans of America/Alabama(?).\nThey give away small household items (ex. kitchen shears) for donations.
