Can i get community service hours for donating clothes to good will?

Question

someone at my school said i could, and i need them and this would be a great way if i could!

Answer 1

it doesn't count sorry. but what you could do is ask good will if you can help and sort out clothes. that's an easy way of getting hours.

Answer 2

i don't think that should be considered community service hours. unless you're laying them out on the tables and helping in the store.

Answer 3

no, community service hours are where u put time and effort into the community, not just dumping some clothes in a dumpster. if u want to eat up some community service hours, i recommend volunteering at a place that wont seem like work. i dont have CH but i volunteer at my local ENVIORMENTAL EDUCATION CENTER. its fuN because i love animals, helpful because their understaffed, and useful when i need a good recommendation...

Answer 4

Community service means that you actually take the time to go and work somewhere for the good of someone else without making money. It's doing volunteer work. Donating clothes takes about 5 minutes and you aren't volunteering.

Even if it did count, why would this be a great way? It completely defeats the purpose of having to do volunteer hours for school. Learning new things, developing skills, helping others, etc etc etc. Find a real community service project - you'll be glad you did.
