I suggest a few avenues you might want to check out.
1.) If you like animals volunteer at a local shelter or rescue center, you will see a lot of sad things "abandoned animals" and all but the rewards are tremendous.
2.) If you like people then try a non profit in your area, perhaps you could tutor underprivileged kids, work with the mentally disabled or ill adults or children. This is also a place where you will see some sad things however again the rewards are two fold and you might find yourself in a place that gives back more then it takes.
3.) If none of these sound appealing then try the local library, senior center, police department places like that are often looking for volunteers to do more secretarial business type work.
Good Luck and don't be closed to anything .................you may just find you niche/passion in life ...............like I did!

Collecting peanut butter and jelly. It is good for a very long period of time without being kept cool. It is great to donate to an after-school program for needy kids. You can find them anywhere.
