Life Do you do any volunteer work?

**luv** · 03-28-2011, 08:41 PM

For whom? Doing what? How much time do you give to it?

**Gadzooks** · 03-28-2011, 08:44 PM

Yes, 37.5 hours per year. Usually at a food bank.

**Bugeater** · 03-28-2011, 08:45 PM

I ain't got time for that crap.

**Dunit35** · 03-28-2011, 08:46 PM

I'd like to do work at an animal shelter, but the nearest one is 70 miles.

I tutor elementary aged kids six hours a week. It can get pretty frustrating when they don't understand a subject.

I wanted to volunteer on Chiefsplanet, but DaFace had to be a giant ass and not offer me a mod position

I operate a community newspaper. It's a community service and it doesn't put any money into my pocket. We also don't charge anything for fundraisers and charities to advertise. I used to do things for various charities but I got out of that several years ago. I'd like to do a Big Brother thing someday but my own kids don't get enough of my time so that's probably a pipe dream.

I also volunteer at my church for various projects.

I support single, unwed, teen mothers. One dollar at a time.

I used to be a volunteer AV guy at the Truman Library. I'm still on the roster, but since I have to drive 30 miles to work each way now, it's hard for me to volunteer now.

If you've never been to the Truman Library, it's worth the afternoon spent.

We assist in a yearly NKF fundraiser via Maya's Miracles for Camp Chimer. We also do what we can for our friends and neighbors however we can. Proud member of 37 Forever and the local historical society unfortunately other than donations we haven't been as involved in charities in the last few years as we should be.

I help to mentor elementary/middle grades at-risk kids every Wednesday. Other than that, I volunteer at the Food Bank, elementary school, and a service organization 8-10 times a month. It's busy, but it's always a lot of fun.

Glad to hear you finished up with that gig picking up trash on the highway.

**Bwana** · 03-28-2011, 08:58 PM

Several times a year, it depends where the need is. Anything from the Salvation Army, to helping round up hundreds of abandoned horses.

Me too. The orange jumpsuit was getting itchy.

My wife is very active in nonprofit issues, so we go to a lot of overpriced dinners. I've generally done stuff in the past on an ad-hoc basis, though I don't have anything going at the moment other than introducing a democratic regime into Adams County, Colorado.
