I really want to take a short trip, 1 or two weeks and help people. I've been looking around and found a few programs, but I was wondering if anyone has had any personal experience.

Friends of mine have booked through these places and gotten a lot from their experiences:
Globe Aware (www.globeaware.org)
Mustard Seed Communities (www.mustardseed.com)
Good luck!!

Most local charities offer community services like the Salvation Army, or Convoy of Hope. I think someone mentioned Habitat for Humanity. I worked with them twice in New Orleans and they give a good trip and aren't picky about length.

You could probably help out at a food pantry.
