Answer 2

One thing you can do is to go out and clean up roadside trash. I used to do this and got quite a bit of recognition for it. One day I pulled out of the side of the road 115 old tires, a refrigerator, and 22 other 30-gallon garbage bags of miscellaneous trash, and that was all in about three hours on one Sunday morning. The pile of tires alone made a wall 4 feet high and about 12 feet long at the side of the road. The real hoot for me in all of this was after I had all my bags of garbage lined up along a 3/4 mile stretch or road I would call the DPW and tell them i had a pick-up for them. HEE HEE.

One day I found a spot where someone had dumped several garbage bags of old magizines down an embankment. I went looking trough them and saw that on every one the subscription address had been torn off. I kept looking through them all until I found one intact, then when I got home I typed up an official-looking 'Notice of Violation' to the effect that this person was guilty of littering and a complaint was being filed, signed "The Trash Police". I went to deliver it in person but no one was home, so I left it stuck in the door. To this day I wonder how this person thinks he was found out.

You can have a lot of fun with stuff like this.

Answer 3

Gather some friends and clean an area of the community that has suffered from neglect. For example, clean an area of beach or of a river bed or a park or playground. Choose an are such as a main street and pick up the litter in the area. You and your friends will benefit from this type of community service, and you can demonstrate leadership skills by organizing the group and following through with the project which could be for one day set aside for it or several days. Good luck!!

Answer 5

First of all, a minor attitude adjustment may help, you GET to help your community. I work with both school and 4-H kids. We do community service projects all year long, but we call them community PRIDE projects.

First, take a look around the community, read the newspapers ( more than one, preferably over a period of time), interview people in the communty, put in a letter to the editor soliciting ideas. Every year we send letters to various agencies in the community asking if they need help and what kind. What is needed in your community? How much money or man hours will it take to help? Can you join forces with another group to take on a bigger project? How old are you and your helpers?

In the last few years, our group has washed floors, cleaned cupboards, freezer, bathrooms, refrigerator and stoves of the local community building, as well as donating dish towels, tablecloths, dish soap, hand soap etc. for the kitchen. W also painted the inside of the building. Another group painted the outside. Still another group scraped off the old floor paint and repaintd the cement floor.

We collected children's clothing, washed, mended and decorated them and then gave them to the local Head Start for when pre school kids have an " accident."

We donated old towels, blankets, meat ( not pork), flowers, tree etc. to the local Wolf sanctuary. We helped pay for them to come and do presentations at local schools and nursing homes.

We shampooed carpets at the local food and clothing bank on the afternoon that they were closed.

We joined in a community effort to send needed items and letters to our soldiers overseas and to kids affected by Hurricane Katrina.

We cleaned a cemetery, reset the headstones, trimmed trees etc.

Cleaned graffitti from local church and school walls.

Collected aluminum cans for the Humane Society. Also, we have about four kids who go to the Humane society on a regular basis just to help work with the animals who need to have people pet them, train them etc.

We donated money to people whose house had bunrned down, whose father was killed in an accident, whose child need as operation etc.

Just spread out the newsletter and look for opportunities. One of the most moving projects we undertook involved the tragic murder of two elderly people who were not found for a few months. Our group cleaned out the kitchen , including power spraying the insides of the freezer and refrigerator, washed, painted, helped sort items and get things ready for the auction, sold refreshments at the auction etc. and all proceeds went to the family to help pay for the funeral and bills. ( We did not deal with the bodies themselves, we went in afterwards)


A young acquaintance of mine recently received an award for her work in helping a Peruvian orphange. She started her foundation when she was only 11 years old.

So there are 1000s of things to do.. What needs to be done? How can you help? Remember, " Giving is a way of life, not a one time donation." Good luck!

Plant trees, go caroling, read to older people, have a "spruce up" day with a bunch of friends---go to a neighbor's house who is old or had surgery, and do their yardwork. Adopt a highway or park, and keep it litter-free.
