Answer 1

Hi Katy! I too am from Michigan and I can tell you that the commission on aging would love to have you help. They are always looking for helpers for the meals on wheels program. Also volunteer your time at any nursing home. The animal shelters appreciate volunteers too. Any county run organization will appreciate any time you could give them. Don`t forget about hospice and respite care for the home-bound/disabled people. Good Luck!
