I don’t anymore. Too many of them are corrupt.

I volunteer to my local community 10 hours a month on average.

I’m much the same. I volunteer at the wildlife rescue here, so I see the work being done and know the money is going to a good place. If they need something for us to get things done, I chip in. It’s also very rewarding, a lot of fun, and I get to meet great people and learn cool things.

I’d like to do something for the poor or homeless too, but I haven’t found the right opportunity yet, plus I need to address some personal health stuff before taking on more responsibility.

You can’t do anything for them. The homeless problem is a black hole, among other social problems. The need is infinite.
Food Not Bombs is what I had been looking at, but the local-ish group seemed inactive. I just looked it up again though and they posted some updates about how they’ve been reorganizing. I feel feeding people is something positive, pretty much regardless of actual need. Everyone needs to eat. I think it’s the Sikhs that do a community kitchen, and I always thought that was very inspiring. They operate in a place with a high immigrant population and I saw in their updates a lot about supporting the unrecognized indigenous people of the area too, which seemed very cool.
