A web-site was established [www.usaservice.org] which presents volunteer options available in your community. There is quite a variety of volunteer opportunities so that there will be something appropriate for everyone's interests and abilities. [Anyone can make peanut butter and jelly sandwiches for a soup kitchen; it takes a bit of "techie ability" to be able to help seniors hook up converters for digital television.]
The members of the Geriatric Care Management Association are actively supporting this effort. I hope that the members of other elder organizations are also "pitching in" to improve your community.
If you honestly feel that you're "too busy" to support a volunteer effort in your community, I would encourage you to donate at least one food item to a food pantry in your community. [There are food pantries in every community--if you can't find one, drop off your donation at a local "faith based community".] Food pantries always need donations--non-perishables which are not in glass containers are always needed. Certainly you afford to donate a can of soup or a box of cereal or spaghetti!!
THANKS for supporting your community!!
