Community Service

My friend and I need to find a place to volunteer in or around Framingham for a class. We have talked about working at a soup kitchen for a few weeks and had our minds set on it, but it seems like we're working on such a big deadline and the people at the Salvation Army didn't pick up their phone so we're in panic mode now. Does anyone know any group - shelters, churches, etc that have soup kitchens that we can volunteer at in the area? If not, anywhere to volunteer in the area would be fantastic

URGENT REPLY NEEDED

thanks

WARNING! i have been getting emails from foreign lotteries and people from countries such as INDIA offering me windfalls of money every day and i can't stress enough to other people receiving these messages not under any circumstances to respond and mark them as spam or unsafe! there has been some horror stories in my area of people getting scammed for 1000s of $s and often their entire savings, they seem to target seniors and the elderly so if you have any family members who are older and maybe a bit to trusting make sure you iform them of these unscrupulous scum bags.

2 questions:
1. can a service/ charity organization be classified as a business?

2. what's a charity /service organization you'd really like to see be made which isn't presently avaliable now?

I have been to the website and have seen the volunteer sheets that are availible. However, I am not sure if you apply online or go to them with the forms.

Has anyone ever donated to these organizations? Do you really get letters from the kids in Africa and such. Are they real? What all happens when you donate monthly to them? Is it legit? Please tell me your experiences or your opinion from knowledge about these groups. Thanks!

im 14 years old and next year ill be in highschool, i got good grades and im going to take AP classes.

one of the main things that are stated by my teachers is that i should enlist in volunteer work to improve my resume.

i won the PTA essay contest but i dont think that will be enough to satisfy ivy league colleges.

im looking to volunteer for some organization, but can't decide what it should be.

i like charity work, i can both help people and improve my chances to getting into the ivies.

thank you!

It totally caught me off guard that I was asked. It's a total honor, but the thing that worries me is that I am afraid that I will not be all they think I can be for their organization.

I know I could do it, but I am just so nervous and do not want to fail.

Its me holding me back.

What would you do if you were in my position?

Please be kind. I only want the best for this group.

Btw, what I am thinking of doing is telling them I will still volunteer with the organization and am honored that they would want me in such a position, but for now I cannot.

I want to sponsor a family or a child from ethiopia - my question is - they 'give' you a child, or family, but does your family get the money (or the direct benefits of the money) I send, or does my money go to the community and get dished out amongst everyone in the town?

Well it's almost my birthday and my parents have been asking me what I want . I really want them to donate money to the poor and elderly in Vietnam with me instead of giving me a present . I saw this commercial on SBTN about sending $3 to this place in Vietnam and they will use the money to help feed a homeless person in Vietnam for 1 month and I was thinking about sending $100 and asking my parents to send $200 , but I'm not sure if I should because my friends have been telling me that it is a scam . What do you think ? Do you think it's a scam ? Please help !!!

I'm graduating from high school next year and I don't want to go to the Gold Coast and get smashed for a week with my friends. I can't afford to go overseas, and I'm from Victoria, Australia; are there any structured volunteer options I can take?

I'd like to work and stay with or around people my own age, but other ideas are fine. Mostly, I'm just looking for something more than alcohol and beaches, neither of which thrill me.

I'll be under 18 at the time, so I suppose a few options are out of the question, but all ideas are welcome!

Thanks, love and starshine, xox
