Thanksgiving volunteer ideas?
 

For the past few years, I have always been the one to cook at my house and host both my wife's and my family, which meant I had to rent tables and chairs.

Normally this fiasco starts around 6am as I put a turkey in the smoker, then one in the oil-less fryer, then a traditional OG style bird in the oven. I LOVE left overs, but also feeding 18 or so people... plus they all want left overs too :1orglaugh

This year, I don't have to cook or do anything but show up and shovel food into mouth. It's a nice break, but it was normally something I looked forward to as I made a huge array of dishes and things for everyone to try... but this year, I'm not in the mood with recent things that happened with some of my family.

Thus, I thought what a better time than now to volunteer, right?

People always go towards a soup kitchen, which is great, but I was more leaning towards something to help out at the animal shelters, but I received NO RESPONSE to my emails or calls. All I got was a link to the signup form to be a regular volunteer. Look, I'd love to spend my time helping animals, but my days are so hectic and chaotic, I don't even know when I'll be able to sleep, let alone stick to a schedule.

So I ask the great minds here, do you have any suggestions? I have a FREE turkey (coupon from the store) and willing to buy some food/sides, but would more like to give my time than money this year, as my financial situation is a bit rough.

Volunteers of America has many good programs that people can get involved with in their own community:



Although it is a faith-based charity, VOA is not overtly religious, and is mostly a humanitarian mission. :2 cents:

In seriousness. Talk to your local church. They will have a list of families that are destitute and in need of some kindness. Often they will give you the address so you can deliver the goods and personally see just how shitty their situation is.
