We're a small group and we're not wealthy people. But we have to do good for our fellow men and women. Anyone have any good ideas, and how would we execute them?

you could go door-to-door and have a clothes/toy drive and donate the collection to your local women's shelter. often, when women and children leave abusive homes, they leave with nothing but the clothes on their backs. it should be easy to do and you would be investing your time - not your money - which is far more personal.
also, you can make sure that everyone in your coven donate blood every 2 months and maybe even help arrange a blood-drive.

ummm perhaps using the words coven and execute in the same question wasn't such a good idea... LOL
But as for your question:
you do not need to be wealthy to help charities. There are many charities that work with children, people with disabilities, or the elderly that can always use an extra pair of hands.
You could possibly get together to make easy to make cheap toys for children with disabilities. If this interests you I can give you some ideas on what kinds of toys are needed for a variety of disabilities send me a message or email and I will be ahppy to help you further. These could be used either in classrooms or in homes to help brighten the every day of these kids..

Sometimes the best charity work is going to a nursing home and visiting.I know,not the most pleasant,but it is one of the most rewarding.One year,I bought a few plants and small things,went to an apartment building for senior citizens,found out the names and apt #s of the three loneliest residents,and dropped off the gifts to them.It was on Valentine's Day.Animal shelters always need volunteers.They're happy when people walk dogs and stuff.There are a million little things that can add up.Even just picking up trash here and there,now and then makes an impact.It's nice to hear your coven is doing that.I think all of them should,but somehow,everyday things start getting in the way and no one has time.Thanks for wanting to make a difference.Someone will smile because of you!

Anything you'd think would be appropriate for your community (or surrounding areas). Try simple things like donating your time at a nursing home, picking up trash,going door-to-door collecting cans to raise money for a local charity of your choice. The possiblities are endless. Good luck.

If you have a local YMCA or YWCA, you could call them. You could also call your city offices for any volunteer work that needs to be done, or you could adopt a highway. Even though I don't agree with your "religious" (for lack of a better term), I applaud the effort.

Adopt an elderly person for each member in your group. Visit them and find out what they need most. :)

Pay it forward, give everything you have away and start over, when you have done this three times, you will be rewarded like no other.
