How could I volunteer my time to a worthy cause on Long Island?

Question

I live in Suffolk County NY. I would like to do something for others. What can I do to help people? where? how? I currently work with severly handicapped people during the day but I would like to find other ways to help. It doesn't have to be with people. It can be an environmental group or a social group or an animal group. Any ideas?
