How can I volunteer?

Question

Is there any organization or something that needs help? I'd perfer not to just give money, but actually do something. It must be something that I could volunteer to do anywhere. Meaning it can't be located in a specific city only (not like picking up garbage or something alike). I live in Iowa. Thanks! details? ask!

Answer 1

at a local library, or

at a day care center...

Answer 2

The Animal Shelters do often need help... maybe local hospitals... that is what I have volunteered to do.

Answer 5

I work with the muscular dystrophy association temporally, this month we are calling leaders in the area, to raise money by being offically, "arrested" at work, and then taken to a nice restaurant for our version of gourmet, "bread and water" and all they have to do is send an email out and get other people to, "bail them out" They are called, "Jail birds" lol Anyway...maybe you could help out in this since May is ALS awareness month. It's really fun, and of course supports the cause! I just started today so I'm sure you aren't too late, We will be doing this probably all summer! I'm in New York btw. Good for you, we need more people like yourself in this world!
