Do women ring the SA bells?

I know this is an odd question. I don't think I have seen a woman do this. I need to put in volunteer time. I am having a hard time finding things to volunteer to. My H doesn't want me to volunteer at the homeless shelter because it's in a bad part of town.

    Yep.  I saw a woman ringing at Wal-Mart yesterday actually.  I've seen them other places too, it's definitely not out of the ordinary.

    Yeah, they let just about anyone do it, or at least they used to.  My girl scout troop used to do it, way back in the day.

    Huh, I've only seen women doing it around here this year come to think of it.

    I am doing it, hopefully, Sarah. I just contacted someone but got his voicemail. Hopefully he will call me back! I will post a picture too!

    When I was in Jr & Sr High School a girl's group I belonged to rang the bells every year as a community service project. None of us belonged to or attended the SA but we rang their bells.

    Some other volunteer opportunities:

    Read out loud/do arts/crafts at the local nursing home/hospital/children's cancer ward.

    Volunteer at the library for kids story time, or putting books away, or at a school.

    Animal Humane Society.

    Food Bank-- may not necessarily be in the same place as the homeless shelter.

    Clean up a park/woods area/playground.

    There are lots and lots and lots of places to get community service hours. Find something that appeals to you and your passions and ask if you can volunteer.

    Edit: The best part is you can do these year round and stay warm in the winter or cool in the summer .
