I did this my senior year in high school. I was too busy to actually do the work.
You write about how you learned about giving and how it feels good to help people. Also write about the church working as a unit. It will also help if you find out what exactly happened.

Aah, do I get the impression you didn't really help at the turkey giveaway?? Is that the reason for the mental block?
There's a good reason for actually doing community service. It's not a punishment. and you do get the opportunity to see how blessed you are when you see what others are dealing with.
Why not go to the church and see if there is some small project you can do this weekend? Work with kids? Clean up? Anything so you can legitimately write about something you've really done, yourself. You'll feel so much better if you do.

It is truly sad that your buddies Dad helped you cheat in life by signing off on you helping out on a turkey giveaway for community service if you truly did not as you have cheated yourself out of a valuable lesson.
As the paper is not due until next week, go down to the nearest homeless shelter, soup kitchen or food bank and volunteer your services there to see what it is like, then write your report.
What you are going to find that it is there are only a minority that abuse the system. Not just deadbeat, loser, drug-addicts on welfare, but many working poor, in a potentially lethal relationship that they had to get out of or be killed or their kids physically abused, or the elderly, who after a lifetime of working, have found they cannot make ends meet.
If you turn in a bogus report to meet the criteria for a criminal charge, I pray that you will in the future volunteer your services in the future. Regardless of your age, you have skills and talent that can better the community as a whole, whether it be you are techie and can build website, ambidextrous and can sort food for food banks, or, even for the mentally and physically challenged, just painting a fence with your good hand (know of a person w/cereberal palsy in a wheelchair that wanted to volunteer, but only had movement in the right hand to a certain extent..have to give him props and credit for what he did and did what he could until the end of the project).

Here is a crazy idea...actually DO the volunteer work, so that you really can learn something about people who are not as fortunate as you are. If you don't want to help adults, find a children's shelter and go read to them a few times. You have no idea how much that would mean to them and how infrequently they get to enjoy something that basic.
Shame on your friend's father for allowing you to shirk your duty to your fellow man!

Why don't you go to the place where the giveaways are given and ask someone there to discribe what happens, perhaps; also you can find it on a website.

Brevity is the soul of language, remember. Just define the aims you were told, tasks you were made to perform and your reaction to it. That will make a nice write up, I promise you.
