Well, there are ways that you can help your community that are fun, you can do them with or without your kids, and you don't have to make a huge commitment.
If you have time to volunteer, try:
Read to children at the local library. Some libraries have a program to teach adults to read also.
Walk animals at the animal shelter.
Deliver meals to elderly or disabled people. Contact Meals on Wheels.
Pick a cause that's important to you. Whether it's cancer, homeless, animals, education, children or seniors; there are several reputable places that can offer you an opportunity.
Visit your favorite place to take your kids and ask them about volunteer opportunities.
Some of our favorites are:
Relay for Life (hosted by The American Cancer Society)
American Red Cross (homeless, disaster victims and more)
SPCA
Volunteer.gov (various opportunities)
Meals on Wheels
CASA (Court appointed special advocates for children)
Change 4 Kids (provides school supplies for children)
You can make a difference even spending a small amount of time volunteering.
