What do you guys do for volunteer work?

This is going to sound really bad but I work in mental health and often end up running erronds for my patients that are out of hours and that I am not paid for, at times it actually takes me out of my way. I do this because they are locked up, unable to go shopping and often have no family to do things for them. That's about the limits of my volunteer work.

Twice a yearI make a quilt, one for the grends' school, and the other for the minor football league in my city. I'm not supporting some charity that pays its ceo hundreds of thousands of dollars every year.

Over the years, I have done lots of volunteer work with kids. I have helped at the preschool, and the elementary schools. I have done fundraising for coats for kids and toys for tots. I have done volunteer work at the senior citizen center as well. These days I am mostly doing fundraising for Hospice of Michigan, although my children and I will be spending a weekend this month volunteering a local Music and Arts festival.

hubby and i help out with a wed night kids club that is at our church...i do the crafts and he runs games for older kids...plus he does all the sound at our church...

My schedule's crazy right now, so I can't volunteer anywhere that requires regular hours (which seems to be pretty much every place around me.) But, when I can, I volunteer at the food bank, and I hope to be able to start at the animal shelter soon.
