[QUOTE="phox1515, post: 1236419, member: 51170"] Hearing stories of your good doing makes me gain a little more faith in this world. I may not have the money to spare to give the homeless, but I have plenty of time to help out on the weekends and have literally spent about 30 hours searching for ways to volunteer my free time. I helped box food at a food distribution thing for catholic charities on Sat, over 7000 boxes of food were made, for about 950 families. I'm registered with the red cross as a disaster volunteer (I helped out with the CO floods this year for 3.5 weeks), got an interview to be a zoo docent this wed, if I get it I start in Jan and this Sat I'm helping out at another food distribution thing. If I'm not volunteering i'm either taking care of business or i'm playing on my computer. the first is a good use but not occurring often, the second is a waste of time so I try to find better ways to use it. You don't need money to make the world a better place. random fact about me, I completed over 2100 hours of volunteer service between Feb 5, 2013 and Nov 14th, 2013, I technically wasn't paid although this was a sort of job (Americorps NCCC), although I did get a living stipend of $160 every 2 weeks but I helped a lot of people and gained valuable exp to put on my resume.
