    If so, where at?

    The Stache and his Strumpet are looking for a nice play to go volunteer!

    Any help appreciated.

    Not anymore, but several years ago I would provide free rides home from the bar for drunk women -- of course at no cost.

    I volunteered for two years in a hospital during my high school years (yes partly was because parents made me do it for college app)

    Even got a small award for going there on a Christmas afternoon during a blizzard

    I volunteer with Big Brothers/Sisters. Just an hour a week but it is a good experience.

    Volunteer to coach a sport in some little league. That's fun. I've coached two different basketball teams and a football team in the past couple of years.

    I am assuming this is court mandated volunteer work?

    Interfaith Ministries - Food for Seniors & AniMeals programs (both are once-a-month deliveries, so they're not incredibly time-consuming if you have a busy work week); however, they also do a daily Meals on Wheels program. I've been doing the FFS and AniMeals routes for about 4 years.

    Sugar Land animal shelter back when I still living at my parents place (and they said no pets)

    Will probably volunteer at a local hospital, now that I have a bit of free time in the spring semester.
