Comunity Services Choices?

Question

I am about to get my Confirmation but to get it I need to do 15 hours of Comunity Service.

Does anyone have suggestions of what I should volunteer to do?

Answer 1

Gather some of your friends together and do a food drive for a local food pantry.  Perhaps your church even has one there.  Summertime is a hard time for food pantries.  

Ask you minister or pastor if there is any elderly person in your parish that could use your help for a few weekend.   You could rake their yard, weed the garden, paint a fence, help do some of the heavier household chores they can no longer do.

Answer 2

go to a church. many can use volunteer work. find one that has a ministry that deals with the public, like food or something. 15 hours is not that much time -  should go quickly.
