Hellobee Boards

I do grief support groups for teens in the evenings. Have you looked at volunteermatch.org? That's a good place to start looking

Have you checked out your local Ronald McDonald house? We volunteer ("guest chef") there regularly, and I know that they have volunteers who make blankets, clothing, etc. (sewing projects) on a regular basis for the residents.

I'm only home with LO 2 days a week, but we volunteer at the animal shelter and local homeless shelter for women/children on those days on a regular basis. For the animal shelter we donate food and I make little kitten beds for the newborn kittens out of old shoeboxes lined with fleece, and make blankets for the cats and dogs. When LO gets older, obviously she will be able to help out more

If you are looking for charities in a new area, I would start with your interests/causes, and go from there. I'm sure any organization will be happy to receive your help!

I joined my local Jr. League - we have a lot of night/weekend events as well as weekday ones. It's nice b/c you can choose to volunteer for what works best for your schedule and there are so many great opportunities.

I don't.... but DH works full time and still volunteers. He is a computer programmer so he can get a lot done at night at home building/maintaining websites. He does that for our temple and for the Jewish genealogy group in our area. He also goes on Sundays during LO's nap to an assisted living home to do genealogy with the residents. I've actually gone with him there and they asked me to volunteer doing art with the residents (I'm an art therapist), but I just don't feel like I have the time right now.
