Finding Community Service Projects
Homeschool Community Service Ideas
Volunteering is an excellent way to draw families closer together. Teens,Air Force 1, tweens and younger kids will feel good about helping at shelters, soup kitchens, food banks and animal shelters. They'll develop a stronger community service by helping the elderly, tutoring kids and sending cards and letters to soldiers in active duty.

Shelters, Soup Kitchens and Food Banks
Volunteerism provides communities much needed assistance, but just as important, it gives the volunteers a sense of purpose and accomplishment. Every community has specific needs based on demographics, the economy and local industry.
Animal shelters in all areas generally need towels, blankets,Creative Recreation, pet food, grooming items and pet toys. Monetary donations are also always welcome. Many animal shelters appreciate volunteers to come by for an hour or two each week to play with the animals, clean their pens and cages and check for water and food.
For shelters, volunteers may be asked to collect linens, clothing and food. Soup kitchens need plenty of helping hands to prepare, serve and clean up. Food banks need people to help separate donated canned goods as well as volunteers to hand boxes or bags to those in need.
Opportunities to volunteer for community service projects are available through schools, churches, synagogues and local agencies. Families that do community service projects together often find that it draws them closer with a common bond.
Take some time each week to write letters to soldiers, letting them know how much they are appreciated. They’ll also enjoy receiving cards for special occasions and gifts to bring a little bit of home to them. For those who don’t have the name of a soldier, consider taking up a monetary collection and donating to an organization that puts together care packages for military troops. “Support Our Troops,” an article on Military.com states that packages and letters with “Any Service Member” will not be delivered.
Depending on the demographics of the community, there may be a need for workers at homeless shelters and soup kitchens. Most cities and towns have food banks that are always open to donations of food or cash. Many of these charities are run by one or two staff members and as many volunteers as they can find.
Elderly Assistance
Offer assistance as an after-school tutor for single-parent families or to help parents who have to work all day and have very little time in the evenings to get everything done. They will appreciate their children being able to do their homework, and the kids will enjoy having someone closer to their age helping them with their lessons. The extra benefit is that a special lifetime bond may form.
The elderly often need extra assistance with daily living activities. Offer to do housework, run errands or simply be a companion to those who are lonely and don’t have family living nearby.
