    late againYes.I cook for a homeless shelter in the area and have for years.I'm in the  Big Sister program.  I'm between little sisters right now though. I'll get a new one next month.I support the March of Dimes and distribute material for their fund raising.  M was an extremely premature baby and this cause is probably the closest to my heart.

    FI and I are looking into volunteering at a place called Camp Boggy Creek. It's for kids w/terminal or life changing illnesses. I would enjoy helping this cause anyway...but recently my step-brother and SIL were told that their baby girl will be born w/spina bifida. For that reason this cause hits close to home now.

    I'm very involved at my local church.  Have you looked into micro-lending?  I give loans through Kiva.org, which is very fulfilling- it's not charity (and you can't claim it as such, since you get the money back), it's helping people help themselves.

    I currently don't volunteer because we just moved to a new city but in my old city I taught preschool Sunday School, taught Spanish weekly to 2nd graders, and was a mentor to a junior high student.Two of my volunteer things I found out about at my college and Sunday was church associated.I think you have to find something you are gifted/passionate about and then look into what you can do. It might even just be looking up phones numbers or googling things in your area. GL!

    oot, do you know that I applied to be a Big Sister in NYC, and got a letter back saying they didn't need Big Sisters?  I was like, huh, how about that, every little girl in NYC has a positive female role model.  Booooooooo.

    I'm part of a member of a Ravens Roost. We have fundraising events throughout the year to benefit several charities. I also occasionally volunteer with the rescue where I got our kitten and since 2004, I've raised money yearly for the Brain Tumor Society (there is a 5k in DC each May).
