People who are homebound, but have Internet access and some area of expertise, can volunteer from home via

http://www.onlinevolunteering.org

Opportunities include web site design, online research, translating documents, designing presentations, editing articles, etc., all in support of organizations that are working in or for the developing world.

People who can knit, sew or embroidery can participate in numerous activities to produce materials for children, people  in hospitals, etc. A web search will produce a list of many of these various initiatives.

For seniors or anyone else, they can join in volunteering at anywhere that they want to, just like anyone. For the USA:
